Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state has ruled out heeding a tweet by the Minister of State II for Foreign Affairs, Musiliu Obanikoro, requesting the Governor to emulate his gesture in congratulating the Governor-Elect of Lagos State by doing same for the Rivers Governor-Elect, Nyesom Wike.
The Minister had on Monday used his Twitter handle, @MObanikoro, to post that: “I congratulated Ambode based on the larger interest of Lagos State. Amaechi and his co-travelers in Rivers State should learn from this.”
Amaechi, in his response to the former governorship aspirant in Lagos State equally on Twitter, said that he will never accept the electoral victory of Wike, who was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers because the election was a daylight robbery.
In his Twitter handle, govern Amaechi responded angrily, saying that the “Election was a sham, a disgrace, an affront on democracy.
“Pls read the reports of EU and other INEC accredited observers b4 you open your mouth to spew rubbish. If your values as so debased & rotten that you saw nothing wrong with the elections in Rivers State, mine is not. Never Will,” Amaechi tweeted.
