An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has alleged that the “manipulation” of the Rivers State Local Government election proves that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has “never won any election” in his political life.
In a statement on Thursday, Eze claimed that the people of the state “boycott[ed]” the election, which he said was an “outright rejection of the political illegality.”
He further alleged that the election was managed by a team “unlawfully appointed” by the Sole Administrator, Ibok-Ette Ibas.
Eze claimed that the election’s “result sheets” for all polling units were “hijacked and kept in a private hotel in Port Harcourt,” where “figures were distributed.”
He stated his belief that the court will “annul the election.”

He said, “The public should disregard 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.”
