Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of Transport, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has on Tuesday condemned his successor, Governor Nyesom Wike, while stressing that he, Wike is playing politics with the safety and security of the lives of Rivers people.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will investigate alleged distribution of fake result sheets in some polling units in Saturday’s legislative re-run elections in Rivers.

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not prepared for the Federal and State Houses of Assembly re-run elections in the state.

Though their names are not on the ballot papers but the election is largely a battle between Governor Nyesom Wike and his predecessor, Mr Chibuike Amaechi who is now Minister of Transportation. They are the two personalities who will largely influence the direction of things at the state level.

It will be a show of political might and test of their strength. Amaechi who came into the state weekend said he was on ground to mobilise his All Progressive Congress, APC members for the election.
