He said: “As at Today 27th March 2019, every arrangement has been made to disrupt the collation and annoucement of the Governorship election results as scheduled by INEC between April 2nd- 5th 2019.
“There are plans to cause bloodshed leading to total breakdown of law and order between Apri 1st to 5th 2019. Rhis is in furtherance of their plan to create a state of Emergency in Rivers State, wherein Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike Term in office would have expired “.
He noted that the petition filed against the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner and INEC National Chairman by the defeated AAC Governorship Candidate contain same false allegations with his suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The Former Deputy Chairman of AAC averred to the veracity of the facts contained in the affidavit sworn to by the Former Deputy Governorship Candidate of the party, Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh.
He stated that from available data from AAC agents, the 2019 Rivers State Governorship election was won by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
“Our party agents inundated us with information from across Rivers State that the PDP won the Governorship and State Assembly elections in Rivers State.
“There is a sinister plot between the AAC/APC alliance to rig the 2019 in Rivers State and subvert the will of Rivers people”, he said.
