The national publicity secretary of the APC, Yekeen Nabena in a statement alleged that the main opposition party has a sinister plot to rig the forthcoming elections, particularly in Edo State. APC further alleged that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike was the mastermind of the plot to frustrate the credible electoral process in Edo state. “Again, as chairman of the Edo State PDP governorship Campaign Council, the violence being threatened by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike ahead of the September 19 Edo governorship election are the real issues. Wike has promised to “make sure that everything needed is done” to foist the PDP governorship candidate on the good people of Edo State. We stand with the good people of Edo state in calling on our security services not to allow the PDP and Wike turn Edo state into a killing field.
