Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the amended Electoral Act is a threat to the nation's existence as it will generate deadly political tension in 2019.

PoliticsNGR learned that the governor also declared that the whole essence of not g the Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari is for him to rig the 2019 elections. He spoke at the Government House Port Harcourt on Tuesday during the visit of the Anglican Bishop of Niger Delta North, Rt Rev Wisdom Ihunwo.

"This present istration does not not want the existence of one Nigeria. We don't know if there will be Nigeria after the 2019 General elections.The National Assembly tried to cure the defects of the Electoral Act that led to controversies during the 2015 elections. After the age, the President kept on giving countless excuses why he wouldn't sign the amended Electoral Act.

"The whole essence of not g the Electoral Act is to rig the 2019 General elections. And in the plot to rig the 2019 elections, Rivers State comes first and Akwa Ibom State is the second on their list", he said.

Governor Wike said that President Muhammadu Buhari is aware that if he assents to the amended 2019 electoral act, he will lose the 2019 elections.

He pointed out that the APC is working against transparent and credible polls because they have been rejected by Nigerians.

He said: "Now, they don't want to use the smart card readers because they want to sit down and write results.It is painful that the President that says he is fighting corruption is leaving room for the rigging of the 2019 polls. There is no corruption worse than rigging. The President cannot set this country on fire".

He noted that the country belongs to all Nigerians, hence every group must rise up to defend the nation's democracy.

Governor Wike urged the Church to work with other well-meaning Nigerians to resist the criminal intent of the Buhari istration in the area of election rigging.

Earlier, the Anglican Bishop of Niger Delta North, Rt Rev Wisdom Ihunwo congratulated Governor Wike for making Rivers State proud within and outside Nigeria. He noted that Governor Wike has turned Rivers State into a huge construction site which has led to the governor emerging the best performing governor in different sectors of the economy.

He appreciated the governor's goodwill and for the Church.

"Our prayer is that because you have willingly invested into the progress of the Diocese of the Niger Delta North, God will further open the channel of favour and opportunities for you in your political journey ", he said.

Highpoint of the visit was the offering of special prayer for the Rivers State Governor by the Anglican Bishop of Niger Delta North.

Wike is officially the most paranoid governor in history. He is always going around making silly assumptions and insinuations - if it's not about planting guns or rigging elections or any other thing he can fathom.

The same man who spent money buying votes for ordinary primaries and benefitted from this electoral act when the last election result was taken to court is making his usual cry.

I still can't figure out why pdp is not willing to have a taste of its own jollof rice. The same electoral law the pdp brought into existence and have been using against opposition will now give room for rigging? Huh? Is that to say they have been rigging all these while?
Also, come to think of it, why is pdp afraid of counting before announcement?

We know the election rigger is at work again,Buhari is a Serial election Rigger. Hasn't started his campaign, because it's not necessary, all he has to do is to Rig the election. Or refuse to accept the result and deploy Babangida tactics,
You foolish people go and votes I will just change results, if you protest I send the Army against you.

How does this make sense?

We have had several elections with the current law and the country has not disintegrated.

Why change the winning team?

We should be wary of those who are shouting sign, sign, because the changes may actually lead to fire.

Politicians on both sides are self-centred and selfish.

I would rather ask that we use the same rule we used in 2015!
