Governor WIKE also noted that the use of the security agencies to rig elections will endanger the unity of the country more than the agitations of different ethnic groups.
Governor WIKE made the observations in faraway Atlanta Georgia in the United States of America where he delivered the keynote address at the convention of the Ogbakor Ikwerre USA.
In a statement released by his media assistant, Governor WIKE said unless security agencies agree to free and fair elections, the unity of the country may come under severe threat.
He charged Ikwerre people to resist every attempt to truncate the political ascendancy of the Ethnic Nationality in the politics of Rivers State and Nigeria.
Governor WIKE was accompanied on his trip to the USA by former Governor, Sir CELESTINE OMEHIA, and former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, AUSTIN OPARA.
