Rivers Re-run election: Buhari, APC setting Nigeria on path of anarchy – Fayose


Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has raised the alarm over the fate of democracy in Nigeria, saying, “the open display of contempt for free, fair and transparent election by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Mohammadu Buhari as being witnessed in Rivers State presently was capable of setting Nigeria on the path of anarchy.”
The governor, who described as worrisome reports of discovery of fake Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Result Sheets in some of the Local Government Areas, security agencies supported siege harassment, intimidation and even killings of Peoples Democratic Party members, said; “Rivers State is 100 percent PDP, and any attempt to subvert the will of the people will be counter-productive.”
In a statement on Saturday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor, said; “Obviously, INEC under President Buhari has destroyed that legacy of free, fair and transparent elections bequeathed on Nigeria by the PDP government former President Goodluck Jonathan.”
The governor said “it is strange that INEC produced Results Sheets with PDP omitted, and I wonder what is going to happen in 2019 if INEC and security agents are acting in this clear compromised manner in Rivers State.”
“From reports that I have heard, Rivers State is under siege. I have seen pictures of people killed and I have seen pictures of INEC Result Sheets with PDP omitted. Most importantly, I have read reports of top functionaries of PDP and Rivers State government either abducted by unknown gunmen or arrested by the security agents.

The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
