I have noted with pleasure the turnout of people to vote for candidates of their choice in the Edo Governorship Election.

There was minimal violence recorded because of the proactive measures deployed by the security agencies.

#EdoDecides
Like I have said before, election is not only about voting, the votes should be counted, then you proceed to collation stages; ward,  local and state government levels. The collation stage is the critical period.

#EdoDecides
So, I urge both INEC and security agencies to protect all the collation centres. When that is done, everybody who has voted will be happy to see that their will has prevailed.

#EdoDecides
When an electoral process is transparent with less violence and disenfranchisement, every participating political party will gladly accept its outcome.
#EdoDecides
This may likely be the best election ever conducted in the history of Nigeria. But they must allow the process to continue to the end. Otherwise they will destroy it.

#EdoDecides
If it is APC that has won, let it be so. If it is PDP that has won, let it also be so. But I must tell that we are happy with what we have got.

We have field report of results of over 2,000 polling units. It shows clearly that PDP is leading.
#EdoDecides
I want to commend INEC so far. They have made sure that people voted in their various polling units.

I want to also commend the security agencies so far, for also making sure that there were no much violence.

STATE BROADCAST BY
HIS EXCELLENCY NYESOM EZENWO WIKE, CON, GSSRS, POS
ON THE RECENT SECURITY BREACHES IN RIVERS STATE.
My dear people of Rivers State
On 28th April 2021, the Rivers State Security Council, in consideration of the recent murderous attacks on security personnel in Ikwerre and Abua/Odual Local Government Areas imposed a night-time curfew on our land borders with other States.
2. A review of the present security situation shows that the threat
of further deadly attacks on hard and soft targets across the State still exists.

On NDDC: The commission has abandoned its core mandate and leaving those who canvassed for its establishment disillusioned.
2) I don't like talking about NDDC. It is unfortunate that those who fought for it, if they knew that this is how NDDC will be, I don't think that they would have even asked for it.
3) Over the years various National Assembly committees on NDDC have not provided sufficient direction that will make the commission focus on its core mandate of developing the region.

Nigerians are disappointed with the National Assembly for confirming sacked Service Chiefs as ambassadors.

I wonder why Senators who agreed with Nigerians when they decried the poor performance of the Service Chiefs will sit to cleared them for another appointment.
2) Let me use this opportunity to express the dismay of most Nigerians to the Senate. Convey this to the Senate. We must be courageous in whatever we are doing. Everything must not be party affairs.
3) You (Senators) sat and discussed that they should dismiss the service chiefs. You said they're not performing.

Now the same people who were not performing, you have confirmed them as ambassadors. What kind of country are we?

9. Furthermore, the Rivers State Government is seriously disturbed by the recent upsurge of cult activities and related violence and killings around the adjoining areas of the Okoro-nodu flyover in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

#Broadcast
10. We have repeatedly warned misguided youths that engaging in cultism is abhorrent anti-social behaviour in our society.
11. We shall therefore spare no efforts to deal appropriately with anyone who decides to disturb peace and security in our neighbourhoods with cult activities and associated violence and killings.

My Dear Good People of Rivers State.

2. As you know our promise to construct and five flyovers to ease the perennial traffic challenges and accelerate socio-economic development of the State is well on course.

#Broadcast
3. We delivered and commissioned the first of the initial five flyovers, (the Rebisi flyover) to the glory of God and the good of our State, while construction work on the rest has reached advanced levels of completion.
4. Indeed, the Okoro-nu-do flyover is next on the line to be delivered and commissioned, latest, in the first quarter of 2021.
