Daily Post Nigeria Nobody can kill me, probe of audio tape a joke – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed probe of an audio clip that circulated after the legislative rerun election.

Recall that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mr Ibrahim Idris has set up a panel to probe the audio as well as some Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, officials.


In his reaction, Wike accused security agencies of working for the All Progressives Congress (APC) .

Wike said it was unfortunate that despite being the chief security officer, some heads of security agencies in the state take orders from powers that be.

In a chat with newsmen, Wike said: “Tell INEC, tell the Nigerian police, tell the Nigerian security that I want free and fair elections.

“What causes violence? I was here and they wanted to stop the results of my senatorial district from being declared. If in the course of resisting rigging, they shoot somebody, will there not be violence?

“Why will you carry materials and give to the other party to the detriment of the other party? We said, allow everybody to vote. Now, you use security agencies to hijack the materials, to beat up our agents.

“Why can’t they tell you the simple truth? If they conduct free and fair elections in this State today, who will win? Who is going to lose if there’s violence?

“We want elections. Let’s see who is more popular. You (APC) don’t want election. You want to bring collation officers that will do your own bidding.

“You want to bring INEC officers to do your own bidding. We have no problem, bring whoever you want to bring, but let there be elections. When you win, you won’t blame the person that collated. What kind of system is this?
