Nigeria May Cease To Exist After 2019 Elections- Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has predicted that political tension is inevitable in 2019 going by the refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Electoral Acts Amendment into law.

The governor stated that the refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to the bill was part of the President’s plan to rig the election in 2019.

The Governor spoke at the Government House Port Harcourt during the visit of the Anglican Bishop of Niger Delta North, Wisdom Ihunwo.

Wike stated further that Nigeria might seize to exist after 2019 general election if the President fails to assent to the bill.

Governor Wike said that the APC was working against transparent and credible polls because they have been rejected by Nigerians.

He added that President Muhammadu Buhari was aware that if he assents to the amended 2018 Electoral Act, he will lose the elections.

“This present administration does not not want the existence of one Nigeria. We don’t know if there will be Nigeria after the 2019 General elections.

“The National Assembly tried to cure the defects of the Electoral Act that led to controversies during the 2015 elections. After the passage, the President kept on giving countless excuses why he wouldn’t sign the amended Electoral Act.

“The whole essence of not signing the Electoral Act is to rig the 2019 General elections. And in the plot to rig the 2019 elections, Rivers State comes first and Akwa Ibom State is the second on their list.

“Now, they don’t want to use the smart card readers because they want to sit down and write results.

“It is painful that the President that says he is fighting corruption is leaving room for the rigging of the 2019 polls. There is no corruption worse than rigging. The President cannot set this country on fire“.
