Warns Amaechi creating problems for Buhari
· PDP dismisses calls for state of emergency
· Party Senate Caucus insists INEC must release results
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release outstanding results of the March 19 rerun elections in the state was breeding unnecessary suspicion and conflict.
He also expressed concern that the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, was creating problems for President Muhammadu Buhari by his activities during the re-run elections in the state.
This is even as the Senate Caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, insisted that INEC must release the collated results of the March 19 re-run elections.
Speaking during a solidarity visit by the PDP Senate Caucus, Wike said the Minister of Transportation lost his local government area and Federal Constituency, hence his desperation to cause a delay in the release of the results.
He said: “Any person who loves Mr President won’t be causing unnecessary crisis for him. We have problem in the North East, problem in the South-East, so there is no need for another problem in the South-South.
“It is good that the elections were held so that Nigerians will know the truth about the polity. If elections are held 20 times, PDP will win”.
These came as the state Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Obuah, described those calling for a declaration of state of emergency in state as “mischievous idlers”.
Wike spoke on Tuesday when he received the Ogbakor Ikwerre, United States and Canada Branch, at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
Wike said that the continued delay in the release of results of constituencies where elections was concluded breeds unnecessary suspicion and conflict.
