NDC's Success Jack Rejects Wike's Election Manipulation Claims

The Rivers State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), chaired by Success Jack, has responded strongly to comments made by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, regarding the 2023 presidential election. Wike claimed that he and the defunct G-5 Governors intentionally prevented Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, from winning in Rivers State.

He explained that this strategy was aimed at hindering former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the then Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, from leveraging the PDP's traditional support in the South-South region. In reaction, Jack stated that the NDC would not be intimidated by Wike's remarks, emphasizing that the electoral landscape has significantly changed since 2023.

He assured that voters would actively monitor the election process to ensure proper result transmission. Jack dismissed concerns about potential voter intimidation by security agencies, asserting that such tactics would be met with resistance from the electorate.
