“Wike will go,the world knows it too.Not even INEC can save him”- APC Chieftain
2.4k
VIEWS

Prince TJT Princewill, a front line chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, has said that not even the Independent National Electoral commission, INEC, can save the state Governor, Nyesom Wike.

Wike is the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.

The APC chieftain was reacting to the suspension of electoral process in Rivers State as contained in a press release signed by Festus Okeye Esq. the National Commission and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee.

In a press release on Monday, Princewill faulted INEC’s decision to suspend election in Rivers State, saying, “INEC’s decision is illegal because it is not supported by law.

“Section 26 of the Electoral Act cited in the INEC Press Release is not even applicable because that section deals with a situation where a date has been appointed for the holding of an election, and there is reason to believe that a serious breach of the peace is likely to occur if the election is proceeded with on that date or it is impossible to conduct the election as a result of natural disasters or other emergencies, then the commission may postpone the election.

“You can see that this provision does not apply to a situation where an election has already been conducted or held, which is the present position in Rivers State.

“Since the elections in Rivers State have been held Saturday, INEC is bound by virtue of section 27 of the Electoral Act to announce the results.

“Having admitted in paragraph one of the Press Release that it has conducted elections on the 9th of March in Rivers State, INEC must by virtue of section 27 of the Electoral Act, announce the results.

“INEC’s decision to postpone the already held elections is ultra vires, illegal and unconstitutional. Such an unlawful decision can now be challenged in court by virtue of section 26 subsection 5 of the Electoral Act.

“The challenge can be launched by any of the many contestants at a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction and on such a legal challenge, the decision of INEC shall also be suspended until the matter is determined.

“Our concerns about INEC and our lack of faith in the REC are continually validated. This was same way they suspended a by-election we held a few months ago when it was clear we were winning.

“Now, the AAC candidate and several house of assembly candidates supported by APC are cruising to victory and they do it again.

“Can they not just step out of the way and let the will of Rivers’ people prevail? Rivers state was largely peaceful. Why not deal with areas where you say you have violence and leave the other results to go through?

“It’s common sense. Why suspend a whole state? Wike will go. It’s only a matter of time. We always knew this. Now the world knows it too. Not even INEC can save him.”
