As voting continues in the Edo State gubernatorial election, River State Governor, Nyesom Wike has revealed that he was ordered out of Edo State.

Wike revealed that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, had ordered him to leave Edo State on Friday ahead of governorship election of the  following day.

The Rivers State governor revealed that following the order, he demanded an explanation from the IGP why he should leave the state when his counterpart, Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), are going about their duties without disturbance or molestation.

Wike who disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television last night had earlier raised alarm over a “siege” at a hotel where he is staying in Benin, the state capital.

Wike is the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Campaign Council for Edo Election.

In an earlier report, we stated that the Rivers State PDP chairman, Akawor Desmond, had said that Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and his Imo State counterpart, Hope Uzodinma, are moving freely in the state while Wike had been prevented from going out.

The statement reads: “The attention of the entire people of Rivers State has been drawn to the siege laid at the Hotel where the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, is lodging while on official assignment in Benin, Edo State.

“Recall that Governor Wike was appointed Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo Governorship election; this is the same position Governor Ganduje of Kano State occupies for his party, the APC.

“Governor Ganduje and Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State are all in Benin, Edo State, carrying out their assignment for the APC without any molestation or intimidation.

“And in a breach of the pledge they made, security agencies have decided to harass and intimidate Governor Wike who has not done any wrong.

“May I on behalf of entire Rivers people warn that we shall hold the IGP responsible for anything that happens to our governor.”
