Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Cross River would have passed away naturally if they accepted intimidation from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop their rally in the state.

Wike spoke at the flag-off of projects of Ogoja l/Yala Federal Constituency and Akpabuyo State Constituency bye-elections at the Calabar Sports Club on Saturday.

The Governor stated it was disgraceful for anyone to use security operatives to attempt to frighten members of the PDP to stop a rally for regular federal and state constituency bye-elections, wondering what the circumstance would resemble throughout governorship election.

According to Wike, the government has actually resorted to intimidation just due to the fact that it has actually failed individuals.

Wike further mentioned that the ruling celebration at the federal level hesitated of signing the electoral costs which is prior to President Muhammadu Buhari because they are afraid of the electronic transmission of outcomes.

His words: “Why in the world will they try to stop an ordinary rally if they have done well, this is simply bye-elections for federal and state constituency, what if it was the governorship, what would they have done?

“If they had succeeded in stopping us from holding the rally, that would have been completion of the celebration in Cross River, but we are extremely durable people.”

Wike advised the people not to be scared, including that the ruling celebration attempted to frighten individuals of Rivers State “but we withstood them.”
