The statement quoted the Minister as calling on Wike to allow INEC carry out their duties as expected.

According to Amaechi, Wike cannot dictate to INEC when to release results.

The statement reads, “The Minister is not aware of what Wike is talking about.

“Wike must allow INEC to collate and announce the results of the rerun elections. As governor, Wike cannot be INEC or dictate to INEC how and when to announce election results.
