The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has explained the reason he would flatly disobey the order of Inspector General of Police, to leave Edo ahead of the State’s governorship election scheduled for later today, he said as chairman of the national campaign council of the PDP, he is in the state to monitor the election on behalf of his party and insists he won’t leave the state.
In his statement, Governor Wike said, “I think they called my orderly; I don’t know how they got his number and then I spoke with the IG and he said I must leave Edo State. I said ‘for what?’ He said because my being here may cause a crisis. I said how will it cause crisis? He said because I made a statement that is inflammatory. I said ‘which statement did I make? That we should be extra vigilant? That people should protect their votes?’ So, ‘what is the inflammatory statement I made?’”
