 Rivers State Governor Barrister Nyesom Wike yesterday declared that he has lost confidence in  the  Independent  National Electoral Commission, INEC, because according to him the commission  is too inconsistent,  as it works to promote  the  interest of   All Progressives  Congress, APC, in Rivers State.

Speaking  during his appearance on Channels Television Sunrise Daily on Tuesday broadcast  from Port Harcourt ,  Governor Wike said  that any plot by INEC to impose candidates on Rivers People will be resisted

The governor  explained  that  in Rivers State,  the  APC  has used INEC  to generate  tension  by attempting to manipulate  the  electoral process  for 8 local government  areas where INEC had already  cancelled elections  during  the  March  19, 2015 rerun  elections in  the State

He said that  it was  unfortunate  that  INEC  has set a committee  to review already cancelled  elections which will lead to avoidable  crisis.

 Governor  Wike recalled  that  the  APC  after the March 19 rerun  elections  issued statements  calling for the cancellation  of  the  elections,  but pointed out that the  same APC  has made a u-turn by approaching the  election  tribunal to declare  her candidates  winners. He regretted that INEC  has  tacitly supported APC  by refusing to  file defence  for the  declared  results  at the election tribunals.

He said the rerun  elections  in  Rivers  State  has proved that money  cannot  win elections  as the ruling  party  had access to loads of money  which made no impact.
