AHEAD of the March 19 rerun elections in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike has raised the alarm that the opposition All Progressives Congress was planning to impeach him through the State House of Assembly.

Wike said the APC plans to win the forthcoming legislative rerun in order to get the majority in the state House of Assembly and subsequently remove him as governor.

The governor further alleged that part of the opposition party’s plot was to use security agents to intimidate and arrest top of the Peoples Democratic Party and government functionaries to pave way for rigging during the election.



Wike, who spoke during a phone-in programme at a Port Harcourt-based radio station on Saturday, vowed not to fold his hands and watch the harassment and arrest of PDP by security agents.

The governor also said the he would be involved in the March 19 exercise and would not allow anybody to rig the state and National Assembly election.

The governor had earlier directed all PDP leaders, council chairmen and government functionaries to resist arrest by security agents based on trumped-up charges.

He said, “They (APC) want to win all the House of Assembly seats that are declared for rerun so that they can impeach me. They want me to fold my hands because I am a governor? Nobody does that. I am not a governor that will not just sit in his office.

“Do they (APC) want me as the chief security officer and one of the leaders of the PDP in this state to fold my hands when I know the strategies they have adopted? They want to arrest all PDP , to intimidate them and put them off before the election so that they will have their way in the rerun and I said no, we cannot continue to allow that to happen.

“I am going to be involved. Nobody will rig this election and you must be popular to win this election. Rivers people must decide whom they want to vote for,” he stated.

While maintaining that PDP leaders in the state will only report to security agencies after the March 19 elections, Wike stated that the harassment of his party men and government functionaries was politically motivated.

Reacting, Rivers Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Chris Finebone, assured the governor that his party was neither planning to impeach him nor to rig the state and National Assembly elections.

Finebone, who said he listened to the governor while he (Wike) spoke on radio, said, “If the governor has suddenly realised that rigging of election is not good, he should tell us that he is now a changed man because we know he rigged the last election.

“We want to assure him that we have no such plans to act in the way the governor acted in the past. However, it is uncharitable and unconscionable for the governor to make such allegations against the APC.

“We have no plan to rig the election and we have no plan to impeach him. Doing otherwise will mean playing God, which we do not do in the APC.”

On the invasion of Ogoni communities by the military, Wike pointed out that it was not necessary for the entire military to storm the area in its bid to arrest an ex-militant, Solomon Ndigbara.

He said, “If they (military) are looking for one criminal as they alleged, do you need to be in Ogoni? Ask the security agencies; I have given them all the to make sure that we fight the issue of criminality in this state.

“If you are saying that you are looking for one Solomon and that the Solomon is a criminal; why not? But for the entire military to be in Ogoni, does that not tell you that something is fishy somewhere?”

craps, I'm saying douche, Nincompoop

Like say wike no dey sleep for night again.
Amaechi and the A PC must be giving this man nightmares.
He won at the supreme court,yet,he's still very jittery and paranoid.

Ebube Dike,We know their antics.They are desperate to grab power since they didn't succeed using the court to nullify your election.One thing they failed to realised is.They can't rig election in a region where the indigenes of that region have aversion for their party.Our amiable governor keep on posting us with their antics while we wait for them at the pool.God bless New Rivers vision,God bless PDP,God bless federal republic of Nigeria.

He might be correct. Given his office, he'd access to all information, in and around the state. Considering is doggedness and achievements so far in office. I think, it would be nearly impossible to impeach him, using state legislators. Like Amaechi, if it becomes so obvious, he would put the Assembly underlock-and-key and do the same to the courts.

Wike is a confirmed PB - Paranoid Buffoon.

his conscience is what is hunting him for the lifes they have deleted, karma!

Wike also said on that programme 'even if they say I vê been rigging elections before and decide to change, is it good to continue what is not good?' lol. Seriously? Don't worry, Wike let apc rig this one first. After this one, everybody wil change. Okay? Wike only this one.

abeggi make we hear word. The only luck wike might have (I said might) is that só far in all the re-run elections conducted buhari is obviously uninterested in tampering with anything. If not wike will all his rants will just be stepped on like an ant by the federal might. Wike himself knows the potency of the federal power when mama p1ss and Joseph mbu used to carry him on their laps. People will only shout for 2 days. After tear gas and curfew Nigerians will run inside their Houses. He keeps accusing buhari here and there, he's just Lucky buhari doesn't even have his time.

their is reward that exact deed for all those whole violate the laws of decency

wike you are welcomed

Apc just trying we pdp we still own nigeria.. Baba bubu would soon know that

It can't be a joke my friend. If you cast your mind back to the various crude steps taken by APC leadership to capture Rivers and Akwa Ibom States through arm twisting of DSS, police and the military, you'll definitely take substance in Wike's claim. There's nothing APC cannot do to grab power.

You both should quit drugs

Oga just shut up and do what you were selected for.

I think pdp in rivers state need help from yaba left.

When the said they want to clean Ogoni land I never understood but now I understand.

I guess the incessant killing of the APC is wike's grand plan to intimidate the opposition so pdp can win the election.

Seriously if APC trully has such plans I think it's a welkom development knowing fully well that it was the same means this curse of a governor secured his seat. If they aren't then they are just being foolish.
Above all, all hands must be on deck to chased this fool away. So far, under his leadership insecurity in ruvers has gone far beyond the roof. Yet wike continues to tolerate these criminals. He has even unleashed his useless boys to the various markets in Ph to start collecting Governors perfume levy. Wike is a curse to rivers people.

This guy man an ingrate to people that brought him up in politics needs to be seriously, urgently, strongly, immediately, intensely, legaly, and strictly impeached and removed.

Joke of a governor Wike is.

Don't know how this demented fellow became Governor in the first place. If only Rivers people knew what they did to themselves by voting this 'joke' of a man.

After 4years Rivers state will be in ruins worse than how Peter Odili his 'father' left the state.

Before nko?

Honest people have nothing to fear or worry about.

Dude is still scared........
