Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has refused to support and sign the amended electoral act into law because they are scared.
The governor, said this yesterday, while addressing party faithfuls in Calabar, Cross River state, in preparation for the forthcoming federal and state by-elections in the state.
He stated that the People’s Democratic Party remains the only hope for Nigerians, as the APC-led Federal government has failed Nigerians.
According to him, 2023 is not 2019. He urged the people to go get their PVCs and ensure that he party wins the forthcoming elections.
Part of his statement reads,
“Why on earth will they try to stop an ordinary rally if they have done well, this is just bye-elections for federal and state constituency, what if it was the governorship, what would they have done ?. If they had succeeded in stopping us from holding the rally, that would have been the end of the party in Cross River, but we are very resilient people.
” 2023 is not 2019, PDP means business, we are taking over Cross River state, go out and get your PVCs, make sure you vote and also make sure you guide and protect your vote, it is obvious that you are ready to take over Cross River once again.
“Do not be afraid, they tried it in Rivers state, but we resisted them, it is just a form of intimidation, I thought the only way to test the people is to allow them to hold their rally whether they would come or not, but with the crowd here, it shows that things are not well with them ( APC).
“With the bye-elections, they will know and understand that it is no longer business as usual, indeed we will leave no stone unturned, we must defeat APC forget about presidential ambition we must win this first.
