Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has been reportedly caught on tape as he vehemently pushed for the rigging of the recent Rivers Legislative Rerun election with some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), who he alleged (in the telephone conversation) had collected money.
The telephone conversation, revealed the governor arranging with INEC officials, particularly those sent from Plateau State, to rig the election for candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Etche, Khana, Ikwerre and other key local government areas in the state.
At one point in the conversation, when Governor Wike was told that one of the electoral officers was reluctant to sign one of the result sheets, the governor threatened to demand his money back from the recalcitrant official. Then, as if not satisfied with his threat to collect back his money, Mr. Wike voiced his intent to kill the official, stating that the man would not leave Rivers State alive.
