Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led National Assembly, rejection of electronic transmission of election results is a coup against Nigerians.
Wike speaking when he was presented the nomination letter of ‘2020 Governor of the Year Award’ which was given to him by the management of the Leadership Media Group at the Government House, Port Harcourt said those who ‘voted against e-transmission of results should be ashamed of themselves.’
He went on to say that the Nigerian lawmakers have plotted a coup against Nigerians and Nigerians should hold them responsible.
He also accused the National Assembly of planning to rig the election because they know Nigerians have abandoned them.
He said “Those who voted against e-transmission of results should be ashamed of themselves. They never mean well for this country.
“If you are a member of the National Assembly and you voted against electronic transmission of results, your children should call you and say ‘daddy, are you well?’
“It is a coup against the people, and when you plot a coup, you know the consequences of plotting a coup. National Assembly members have plotted a coup against Nigerians and Nigerians should hold them responsible. All they are planning is to rig the election because they know Nigerians have abandoned them,” Wike said.
