  • Rivers State ADC chairman Chukwudi Dimkpa criticized Nyesom Wike’s claim that he would defeat Rotimi Amaechi by noon on election day.
  • Dimkpa said voters would cast and have their ballots counted, while INEC would declare the winner.

“Elections are not won by boasts, intimidation or political strongmen announcing results in advance,” said Dr Chukwudi Dimkpa, chairman of the ADC in Rivers State.

In a statement released Monday in Port Harcourt, Dimkpa responded to Wike’s boast that he would defeat Amaechi by 12 noon on election day. He said the claim was revealing.

“Rivers people will vote, the votes will be counted, and INEC, not Wike, will declare the winner,” Dimkpa said.
