Addressing Rivers people during the 59th Independence Anniversary at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt, Governor WIKE noted that the Electoral System has been largely fraudulent, making it difficult for votes to count.
The Governor said this year’s Anniversary of the country represents fifty nine years of mixed results, noting that there are areas where the country has made significant progress, while in others it has failed woefully.
Governor WIKE said national unity; social cohesion; good governance and improved standard of living motivated Nigerians to seek Independence but said it is now more like fifty nine years of wasted dreams and mismanaged opportunities.
He suggested that the nation should embrace a political and economic system that recognizes the sovereignty of the component units.
Governor WIKE’s position was contained in statement issued by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, SIMEON NWAKAUDU.
