AMAECHI The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, yesterday vowed to resist any form of intimidation and threat from any quarters in the December 10 Rivers rerun.
He promised the All Progressive Congress (APC) will match whatever antics and strategies deployed by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Nyesom Wike during the exercise.
He also said all candidates of the APC must win at all costs, urging supporters never to succumb to the threats and intimidation of Wike.
The former Rivers governor said the APC will not take security for granted like it did in previous elections in the state.
Wike, according to him, is a thug who is not fit for governance.
Amaechi spoke at a rally in Bera in Gokana local government area, the hometown of APC Rivers South East Senatorial candidate, Magnus Abe.
He said the APC cannot afford to lose any seat in the senatorial district, especially the four Ogoni councils of Khana, Gokana, Eleme and Tai.
Amaechi said: “If there is one place APC that shouldn’t campaign, it is Ogoniland but Wike said he must win here.
“It is not as if he is God. Only God can say that but since he is not God, he will fail.
“Wike can never be God. The battle is not in Ogoniland but in the Ikwerre and Ahoada axis.
“So he had better forget here (Ogoniland). He said he will deploy everything.
“Anything he wants to deploy let him deploy, we will deploy our own.”
Charging APC supporters to square up to Wike and the PDP, Amaechi said: “Do not behave like democrats who went to sleep. Come out and vote.
“The past elections, we took security for granted. This time, we will not take security for granted.
“If Wike likes, let him come out. At all times he had come out I used to ask does this man remember that he is a governor?
“It is only a thug that can stand in front of a Judge’s gate to be struggling with security men, only a thug.
“A governor will go back to his house and call the President. When SSS invaded the presidential lounge of Akwa Ibom state government, what the governor did was to call the President.
“Instead of Wike to call the President, he was struggling with security men.
“In all the fight I had with the federal government under former President Jonathan, nobody saw me physically battling with anybody.
“When I became governor, there were many people appointed by Dr. Peter Odili.
“There were so many businesses by Odili people. I didn’t stop any. Wike is indeed a thug, not a governor.
“He doesn’t know what it takes to govern. The only way to show him that is in this election.
