amaechi Vs wike
Unmistakable uneasiness and instability have wrapped the environment in Rivers state as the general population calmly sit tight for INEC to reel out the consequences of Saturday's re-run decisions.
This is as cutting edge political warriors – the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi and the Governor, Nyesom Wike – appear to have taken aggregate control of the destiny of Rivers state.
The Court of Appeal had requested re-run decisions in 23 Local Government Areas, 319 Wards and 4,442 Polling Units.
Yesterday's decisions held in the midst of tight security, viciousness, and different obstacles.
The Commissioner for Water Resources in the state, Ibiba Walter was captured by obscure persons.
He was later discharged early Sunday morning in the wake of keeping him far from the race.
The Secretary to the Rivers state Government, Kenneth Kobani was likewise captured by the Military for attempting to purportedly trade off the decision process.
So also, a Sportscaster and Special Adviser to Governor Wike on Special Projects, Cyril Dum-Wite was captured at Khana with fake military outfits and N3million money.
In this way, INEC has suspended race in 8 Local government ranges of Andoni, Tai, Bonny, Khana, Gokana, Eleme and Asari-Toru.
The Resident Electoral Commission, Aniedi Ikoiwak told newsmen that, "Really we sent our discretionary materials since Thursday and today we have had the experience that the vast majority of our materials were not permitted to move from the RAC focuses and notwithstanding when we attempted to convey to the RACs, we were hailed.
"In the by and large, we are listening to reports that decisions held. We had a circumstance where races were not permitted to hold in a few spots."
The flow level of vulnerability that perveades Rivers has never been felt ever.
A day after the race, results are still yet to be reported albeit a few figures are being posted on online networking. The two principle political gatherings, PDP and APC kept vigil at examination focuses everywhere throughout the state.
Wike had coordinated all individuals from the PDP in the state to tempest assemblage focuses to screen sorting and numbering of votes cast.
Interestingly, without precedent for some years, Amaechi and Wike met 'eye-to-eye' at Mile One Police Division, Diobu, Port Harcourt.
Reports say that a specific Electoral Officer accountable for a Ward in Port Harcourt Constituency who is working for a specific political gathering had taken asylum at the Police station because of a paranoid fear of being lynched by the effectively restless horde.
Both the Minister and the Governor raged the Police station with their devotees and security associates. A conflict was deflected.
Nonetheless, the tension proceeds as Rivers individuals anticipate the result of the re-run decisions.
