Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has praised Rivers State residents for abstaining from what he called a rigged Local Government Area poll last Saturday.

According to Eze, he is adamant that the judiciary will rig the election.

He claimed that Ibok-Ette Ibas, the only administrator, illegally appointed a team to oversee the election.

Eze stated in a statement provided to ZINGTIE on Thursday that the response from the Rivers people in all 23 LGAs in the state represents a categorical denial of the political illegality.

It was shocking to discover that the result sheets for all of the state’s polling places were taken and stored in a private hotel in Port Harcourt, where the figures were dispersed, Eze said, adding that there were only 23 candidates for the chairmanship of the 23 local government areas, all of whom are supporters of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

He advised the public to ignore what he called “the cooked-up trash being circulated as a result of the Local Government Councils election, as there was no election in Rivers State but allocation of votes to Wike’s cronies.”

“It is pathetic to learn that in Emohua, Ikwerre, Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt City and other local government areas where voters shunned the charade, the results churned out by the electoral body manned by this unlawful team led by the man from Cross River indicate that the 23 chairmanship contestants scored votes in tens and hundreds of thousands.

“In Emohua Local Government Area, RSIEC ad-hoc staff were seen thumb-printing the entire ballot papers for the APC because not even a single voter turned up at the polling units, yet a factional APC chairmanship candidate, Chidi Lloyd, was declared winner with over a hundred thousand votes.

“For an uncontested election to be this manipulated, it clearly shows that Wike has never won any election in his political life.

“The FCT Minister lost his polling unit to the Labour Party during the 2023 presidential election. He could not deliver Tinubu. But on getting to the collation centre, the entire results were changed,” Eze alleged.
