Governor Wike said that the 6 Division had mapped out local government  areas where they will initiate  violence  to ensure that elections  are not conducted like they did during the Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt,  yesterday, Governor Wike said: “They are plotting to cause crisis,  so that the governorship and state House Assembly will be cancelled.  That is what the 6 Division is planning.”

He said despite the militarisation of the elections, there are areas that some political parties cannot win because they are the strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

“Did All Progressives Congress, APC, win the Presidential election in Rivers State? It doesn’t  matter what they do, they will not win.

“There are areas that are no go areas. You don’t kill people simply because you want to win.”

Look at how they shed innocent blood because they want to get 25percent or they want to satisfy the ego of one or two individuals,” he said.

Wike said that the PDP in Rivers State was prepared for the elections, adding that the party campaigned and interfaced with Rivers people.

“We have been prepared for these elections.  There is no party that campaigned the way we did. Nobody is more prepared for the elections. You cannot change the will of the people.  It is difficult.”

Wike has revived Rivers State through massive infrastructural projects, empowerment and economic development programmes.
