Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared that his administration would support the conduct of free and fair legislative rerun elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.
The governor, however, stated that that the people of the state would resist any attempt to rig the fortcoming rerun elections with the aim of subverting the will of the people.
A statement issued yesterday by Special Assistant to the governor, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, stated that Wike spoke yesterday at the Government House, Port Harcourt when he granted audience to the new Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Rivers State, Elder Ikoiwak Aniedi.
The governor said: “You must have heard me say, which some people have taken out of context. I want to repeat what I said. We will support anybody that comes to conduct free and fair elections. If anybody has at the back of his mind that he is coming to do the bidding of a particular political party or interest group, or that he is coming to the state to impose candidates on the state or rig election, the people will resist. Of course, you know what that means.
Let the election come and go jare........
