Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike CON, GSSRS has stated that no single governor can hijack the  structures  of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying those making insinuations to that effect are economical with the truth.

Speaking during a special  appearance on Channels Television Sunrise Daily at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Friday, Governor Wike said all governors are equal and work in unity for the stability of the PDP.

Governor Wike stated that no governor can control party affairs in another state, which is not within his jurisdiction.

He said: “All governors are equal in the party. There is no single Governor that can finance a political party as big as the PDP”.

Speaking on comments credited to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Governor Wike said the former leader has left the PDP and destroyed his membership card. He wondered why the Former President is so interested in developments within the PDP.

The governor noted that the stability of the political party is not attained by financial muscle, but by the cooperation of all members.

Speaking further, the governor said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under the present circumstances lack the capacity to conduct credible elections.

He said beyond mere rhetoric, INEC should take concrete steps to convince Nigerians that they will improve on the conduct of elections.

Governor Wike said that the first step that INEC should take is to transparently investigate the printing of Fake INEC result sheets by Rivers APC chieftains.

The governor added that INEC should further explain  how the Police got original result sheets with same serial  number of the Rivers East Senatorial District election, where INEC declared Senator George Sekibo winner, only for the police to tender a different result, relied upon  by the court  to declare APC winner in that election.

Commenting  on the re-ordering of election sequence by the National Assembly, Governor Wike said that he believes  it is not targeted at the President as some APC leaders have argued.

On projects delivery in Rivers State, Governor Wike maintained  that he has instituted a system to do away with the era of abandoned projects which he inherited from his predecessor.

He added that the State Government has reached out to all the 23 Local Government Areas with meaningful projects and in other cases, he has completed  projects abandoned by the Amaechi administration.

"I am guided to execute projects that will be completed in four years.  I will not start any project that will be abandoned", he said.

He stated that his administration is actively promoting women participation in government and also empowering women.  The governor noted that N500million has been set aside as an empowerment scheme for Rivers women.

He reiterated that he has not been reached through official channels on the visit of the President.  He noted that the communication line between the Presidency and the Rivers State Government is not through a press statement issued by Femi Adesina.

"If you are sayimg that the President is coming to commiserate with the families of the people who died on 1st January, 2018, I have no problems with that. Since 1st January, 2018, nobody has called to commiserate with the Rivers State Government.  When the January 1 attack happened, APC leaders politicised the attack ", he said.

The governor noted that for close to three years, Rivers State has not benefitted from the APC Federal Government. He informed that the Ogoni clean up has remained in the realm of rhetoric, while the Bodo-Bonny Road is about to be abandoned.  He stressed that the East West road, the Port Harcourt International Airport  and other Federal Projects have been left unattended to, pointing out that in the coming days, political flag off and promises will be heightened around the neglected projects to hoodwink Nigerians.

Governor Wike later took the ChannelsTelevision Sunrise Daily Crew on a tour of selected projects in Port Harcourt.

GOVERNOR WIKE TO AMAECHI: RIVERS PEOPLE VOTED FOR ME BECAUSE OF MY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.. Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for him during the 2019 Governorship Election because of his outstanding performance and projects delivery. In a response to false allegations made by the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi during his appearance on Channels Television Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Governor Wike said that the Former Rivers State Governor failed in his quest to truncate his second term because Rivers people are happy with his work. He said he wouldn't have responded to the falsehood being peddled by the Minister of Transportation, but he owes the public the duty to set the record straight. He said: "It is unfortunate. I extended the Olive Branch and I meant every word of it. It was on that basis that the State Attorney General filed a nolle prosequi to withdraw the charge against Flag Amachree. "If I did not do well in my first term, PDP wouldn't have given me the party's flag to fly. In 2015, the same man vowed that over his dead body would I emerge victorious. "I have done well for my people . It is for the people of Rivers State to decide. It is not the in the place of Amaechi to decide. "We have over 6million people and over 3million registered voters. Therefore, Amaechi cannot say I cannot go for a second term. He has only one vote. "In the past, he said an Ikwerre man cannot succeed another Ikwerre man. Today, he is saying his grouse is that I cannot go for a second term. At every step, he has one story or the other". Governor Wike said contrary to the story that Amaechi peddled whilst he was on Channels Television, kidnapping raged during his tenure. He said it was so bad that the State Chairman of Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission under Amaechi was kidnapped. The Governor noted that despite the National High-Rate of insecurity, Rivers State is relatively peaceful, with very high ratings. "Our internally Generated Revenue has improved due to the peace and security of the state". Governor Wike said that the political misfortune that befell the APC during the last general elections in Rivers State was principally due to the impunity of Amaechi . He said: "It is because of this impunity that his party was not on the ballot. Because of this impunity he has denied so many people their political future ". He said that the plots by Amaechi to manipulate the Tribunal will fail like other previous plots. The Governor noted that Amaechi's boast that he appointed the members of the tribunal and they would work for him remains one of his empty boasts. Governor Wike said that Amaechi's plot to use the police to illegally certify fake results as he did for Rivers East Senatorial District during the rerun elections tribunal would fail. "The game he played in Rivers East of using the police to certify fake results will not work. During the rerun Police certified fake results. That game will not work again. We have gone beyond that . We are waiting for the police to certify fake results for Amaechi ". He stated that there was no way that the defeated AAC Governorship Candidate, Engr Awara would have been coasting to victory when he neither campaigned or printed posters. He said: "Awara ran for the PDP councillorship in 2018 and lost. For this election, he did not Campaign and never printed posters. "Look at that kind of impunity. He brought a man that the people of Rivers State never knew three days to the election. "The AAC had no House of Assembly Candidates, they had no House of Representatives Candidates and No Senate Candidates for the elections. There is no way that such a party would have been coasting to victory ". He added that the AAC Governorship Candidate couldn't have been coasting to victory and still approach the Federal High Court for the cancellation of the Governorship Election Results. On the allegation that the INEC Chairman , Professor Mahmood Yakubu influenced the suspension of the Collation process because he worked under him at the Federal Ministry of Education, the Rivers State Governor said that the position of Amaechi was baseless. He said that at the Ministry of Education, he superintended basic Education, while the INEC Chairman served as TETFUND Executive Secretary under the Minister of Education. He said that the INEC Chairman was appointed by the APC Federal Government and since his appointment, there has been no links Governor Wike said despite the evil machinations of the Minister of Transportation, he was unable to deliver 25 percent of votes for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019 "In 2015, as a sitting Governor, he failed to deliver 25percent of votes for President Buhari. He claimed that Jonathan helped us. In 2019, with all the security agencies, he still couldn't deliver 25percent for President Buhari. "He sang war songs, but couldn't deliver 25 percent of votes for the President ", he said. On the incident at Obio/Akpor LGA Secretariat, Governor Wike said that the GOC of the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Jamil Sarhem sent soldiers to invade the Collation Centre and cart away results . "I went there to stop the Army from carting away results from my Local Government Area ", he said. Governor Wike said that the illegal activities of the Nigerian Army all through the Governorship Election were well documented by the media and the International community. He said that the videos of the Army invading the Rivers State Governorship Election Collation Centre has since gone viral. He said that even the Rivers State Commander of F-SARs has since written him a congratulatory letter on his well deserved victory. He said that his Administration continues to fund all security agencies in the state, including providing needed logistics. He said that the Israelis that Amaechi introduced were only used to siphon State resources . He wondered why Amaechi finds Pleasure in de-marketing Rivers State, when the State made him Speaker, Governor and Minister of the Federal Republic. Governor Wike said after four years as a Minister, Amaechi cannot boast of attracting a single project to Rivers State. He noted that as Minister of State for Education, he attracted several projects to the state. He denied attempting to bribe the GOC, saying that he has never met him at any point. He said by Amaechi's logic, it means that the Minister bribed the GOC 6 Division to subvert the Electoral Process.
