The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Saturday said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, would ask his supporters to boycott the presidential election before 11am on election day.
Wike explained that Amaechi would call for the election to be boycotted because he could not defeat the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State.
The minister spoke during a grand reception held in his honour in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
According to Wike: “On election day, before 11am, Amaechi will tell his people to boycott the election because he knows there’s no way he’ll defeat us.
“If he wins his village, Ubima, then he has won the election. That’s if he will win his own polling unit.
“No more battalions of soldiers to be with him, no more battalions of police to be with him, it’s now that we the battalion of people will come out.”
Wike also accused Amaechi of using a battalion of soldiers to intimidate people in the state.
“All of us are witnesses to it, he was coming like he was the Commander-in-Chief with a battalion of soldiers intimidating our people, now he will come alone,” he added.
