Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to defend the unity of the country by ensuring the conduct of a free, fair and credible election in Edo State, come September 2020.
The governor who noted this while addressing party members and members of the campaign council yesterday said, the statement credited to Ganduje was an admission of the plot by the APC to rig the Edo election with the help of security agencies.
Wike who assured party faithfuls that the PDP would be victorious in the poll, said the ruling party should “Stop use of military and other security operatives in abuse of electoral rules.” He called on security agencies to be fair to all in the discharge of their duties.
The governor who maintained that Ganduje is no match for him said “By conducting a free and fair election in Edo, the President will not only be stabilizing the country politically but would be averting an impending doom that could make the doomsday prediction about Nigeria’s disintegration come true, God forbid,” he asserted.
