A former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party, nPDP, and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has urged President Bola Tinubu to call Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to order.
Eze accused the Nigeria Police of unprofessional handling of issues pertaining to the scheduled October 5 local government election in Rivers State. He said the call became necessary following the unlawful invasion of RSIEC by masked men in police uniform on Friday morning. In a statement on Friday, Eze berated Wike over what he described as surreptitious machinations in collaboration with the police to frustrate the Rivers local government election.
“They know there won’t be any avenue for manipulation that is why they opted out and started deploying schemes to sabotage the election, Wike strives in manipulation,' Eze said. The party chieftain knocked the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers State, Dr Johnson Alalibo Sinikiem for allegedly turning himself into a spokesperson for the pro-Wike group. 'From his comments, it is glaring clear that the REC does not know the limit of his job specification as an official of INEC.
