Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that electorates in the state will not allow anybody to impose representatives on its people ahead of the coming rerun in the state.
The governor said the people should be allowed to elect their representatives.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the rerun elections into the Senate, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly for December 10.
Speaking during a PDP dedication service for the flag-off campaign of 2016 rerun/supplementary election at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt yesterday, Wike urged INEC to be neutral in the course of the rerun election to ensure that the will of the people prevails.
“This election will prove whether INEC is ready to conduct free and fair elections in Nigeria,” he said.
