Governor Nyesom Wike on Thursday said that the state will resist any move by the Federal Government to manipulate the re-run elections in Rivers state.
Wike gave the warning, yesterday, when his supporters received him at the Port Harcourt International Airport. He said, ”I want to warn, let nobody attempt to do what happened in Bayelsa State here. Since they said they have annulled the election, let them come and conduct fresh election. Let nobody think that they can use soldiers and policemen to intimidate us. We will resist any such attempt.
”We have maintained our cool for a long time. Our calmness should not be mistaken for weakness. We shall return all our National Assembly members as a way of disgracing those who think they will snatch the mandate of the people,”
