The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has responded to Minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike's claim that their Vice Presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, would be defeated before noon on election day. ADC spokesman Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa stressed that it is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that will announce the election results, not Wike.
Dimkpa dismissed Wike's boast as political rascality and urged Rivers State voters not to be intimidated. He further criticized Wike and Ikwerre Local Government Area chairman Charles Wobodo for obstructing a road and turning an emotional moment into a political platform while Rotimi Amaechi was mourning his mother. Dimkpa emphasized that elections cannot be won by boasts, intimidation, or political strongmen announcing results beforehand, and that Rivers people will vote, and INEC will declare the winner.
