Rivers
State governor,Mr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike,has announced that the
state government would, in the coming weeks, release audio-visual
footages of the state commissioner of police, Mr.Francis Odesanya,
allegedly plotting with politicians on the methods to be adopted in
rigging the December 10 rescheduled legislative elections.
Governor Wike, in a press statement
signed by his Special Assistant, Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon
Nwakaudu, made the announcement while flagging off rehabilitation works
of the General Hospital, Abonnema in AkukuToru Local Government
Area of the state, yesterday.
According to him, the audiovisual
footages would be made public through different media platforms
to expose the extreme rigging desires of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), with the backing of the
police and other security
agencies. The governor further
alleged that 600 policemen working with the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS) in the state have already been distributed to
prominent APC leaders on local government basis by the Police
Commissioner for the indiscriminate arrest of Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) supporters a few days to the election. The governor added
that the 600
SARS personnel so distributed would
also be used to unleash unprecedented violence on the people on
election day, so that APC leaders would have time to substitute
result sheets handed over to them by the INEC leadership.
“We are now in possession of the
DVD of how the Police Commissioner and some politicians were
planning on how to rig the forthcoming legislative re-run
elections in Rivers State. At the appropriate time, we shall
release the materials for Nigerians to understand the depth of the
electoral fraud being perpetrated by
INEC and Police. “For the security
of this all important audio-visual material, we have mass-produced
them and kept them at different locations. Nigerians are entitled
to know the truth about the unfortunate rigging machine. “Now that
we have caught them on tape, this will shake the world.
Rivers State is not like other states where you can plot and execute easy rigging plans.
