He said: “I heard Mr. President say, yesterday, that he will not interfere (in the 2023 election). He told the governors he will not interfere. In the other one (2019), you interfered by sending people to come and finish us in Rivers State.

“Thank you, Mr. President, for saying you will not interfere or intimidate anybody, which means there’s no way for your party. jamb results

“Of course, he interfered, the last time, by using the army, through the former Minister of Transportation. But the people stood up and said no, this will not happen.

“I thank Mr. president that he wants to leave a legacy of conducting a free and fair election.” Expressing doubt concerning the promise by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to give Nigerians a free and fair election, Wike said: “My problem is INEC, whether they will do what they said they will do. They are making promises. I don’t know whether they will keep to it. If INEC will keep to the promise that Nigeria will get a better election, I will be so happy. Everybody will see with his or her eyes. Abuja does not vote; it is the people here that will vote.”
