In a video monitored by calabargistblog.com.ng, Wike said that the people of Rivers state have been totally sensitised on the preferred voting pattern that will favour the state at the presidential level, the Senate, House of Representatives and state government level.
He also expressed his utmost conviction that there would be no room for manipulation in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
His words:
“This time, no army will do anything. No Fakorode will do any thing. No police will do anything. Now, it is one man, one vote. All the votes must be in one basket from the governorship to the House of Assembly. The other one we are concluding. When we conclude, you will be told.
“Nobody should intimidate you. Nobody should tell you any story. We are free-born of this country. We are not second-class citizens. Nobody can tell us anything. I dare them. Let anybody do any funny thing, We’ll tell them we are from Rivers State.”
