Governor Nyesom Wike
Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing his Special Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, as a National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission representing Delta State.
The governor while addressing the #EndSARS protesters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday said the development is a ploy by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the general elections in 2023.
He, therefore, called on the people of the state to protest against the appointment, stressing that marching against police reform is not just enough.
His allegation comes shortly after President Buhari forwarded Onochie’s name and three others for confirmation by the Senate.
Other nominees listed are, Prof. Muhammad Sani Kallah (National Electoral Commissioner), Katsina; Prof. Kunle Cornelius Ajayi (National Electoral Commissioner), Ekiti; and Saidu Babura Ahmad (Resident Electoral Commissioner), Jigawa.
