REVEALED: How Wike Was ‘Technically Rigged Out – Former APC Chairman

Igo Aguma, a former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, has exposed how the state governor, Nyesom Wike, was technically cheated out of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential primary.

Aguma mentioned this in a Port Harcourt interview on Thursday.

According to Aguma, who has now joined the PDP, the National Working Committee betrayed Wike by giving Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, a second chance to withdraw from the presidential contest.

Tambuwal shouldn’t have been allowed to speak after using all his five minutes earlier, he said.

In his remarks, Aguma also expressed remorse for several South-South states selling out during the election.

He said, “We were poised to win. We were technically rigged out. We saw a proper conspiracy. When they had said everybody was given 5 minutes to talk and we now saw a long interlude, the next thing we heard is there is a special announcement to be made and his Excellency, Governor Tambuwal walked out and made an announcement, stepping down for Atiku, making a speech longer than 5 minutes, that’s the rigging. It was choreographed.

“Technically, the stepping down and ability to announce it has a sweeping effect. If he was to go there and communicate that he was stepping down, it won’t go round. And then the stepping down, the way it was announced and the speech that preceded it was as though there was a directive from somewhere.

“One thing that has come out from there is that our experience has become deep and wide. We have come to understand how divided this country is. We have come to understand that we in the South-South do have a long way to go.

“If we use to think that the South-East has an issue, we the South-South have a serious issue.”
