SHOW PROOF I’M WORKING FOR TINUBU, WIKE TELLS LP

Labour Party on Saturday night raised the alarm that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, was allegedly influencing results of the presidential and National Assembly elections held in the state.

The party made this allegation in a Twitter post, alleging that Wike was influencing results in favour of All Progressives Congress in his village, Rumueme.

The LP also stated that Obi had a large chunk of the votes in the South-South state, as results so far from Rivers had put the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the lead.

The post read, “This is from a returning officer with INEC. Rumueme 7A 034, Gov. Wike’s Village. Wike is at the rec centre to influence results in favour of APC. Obi won hands down in Rivers.”

But the Peoples Democratic Party in a swift reaction debunked the allegations, describing them as baseless.

But defending the governor, the Director, Publicity and Communications, Rivers State PDP Campaign Council, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, in a statement on Sunday, described the allegation by Labour Party as baseless.

Nwuke said, “This is all nonsense! Governor Nyesom Wike does not own INEC and urges the Labour Party to show proof of its allegations.
