The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, have been accused of sponsoring election violence and malpractices in the state during the last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election.
NIGERIACRIME observed that a virtually signed petition on change.org, has recorded 64,160 petitions asking the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and the entirety of the European and Asian continents to revoke the visas of the governor over the allegations.
The petition was started by one Onyebuchi Ezeagabu, who alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party governor was “operating to destroy electoral process,” adding that the eligibility of the governor’s visa and that of his family should be revoked.

The progenitor of the petition wrote, “The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been operating to destroy electoral process in the state he governs. We demand his and his family’s visas eligibility revoked”.
Also referring to the governor, a signee of the petition, Amechi Victor said, “He is against democracy in Nigeria. He just manipulated election results.”
Another person who supported the petition, Ugochi Agua-Onyekwelu, wrote, “This man has caused a lot of trouble and thuggery in the Nigerian political scene. He is always inciting people against the Igbos and has actually carried out the killing of thousands of Igbo men in his state at Obigbo, PH. He believes so much in violence and talks carelessly like a lout.”
There have been unconfirmed reports of alleged violence in some polling units in Rivers State during the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday, February 25.
