APC won 20 out of the 23 LGAs, PDP took the remaining 3 seats. The winners are said to be Wike loyalist. Wike while speaking during a media parley on Monday, said the polls were legally conducted and commended by many, for being free and fair. Wike also spoke of Atiku being naive of the right the President have to declare the emergency rule in Rivers State.
“Listen, I don’t blame Atiku; he didn’t know that his boss signed the emergency rule in 2004. If he knew, if he was obedient and working along with his boss, who was President Olusegun Obasanjo, he would have known that the President has the power to make regulations for the governance of emergency areas.
“So, he was not in tune. He doesn’t know, and as I said, what you don’t know, don’t comment about it. If Atiku had comments about Customs, I know he has worked in Customs. I can give it to him, but this is law.”
The minister added that Obi lacked the moral right to speak about the conduct of elections.
“Now take Peter Obi. He said rascality. Who can be more rascal than Obi? Obi was the governor of Anambra State for eight years. He conducted local government elections two months before he left office, eight years as governor.”
