An audio of a telephone conversation allegedly between Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, in which both men discussed Mr. Wike’s sharp maneuvers during the December 10, 2016 rerun of legislative elections in Rivers State has been released by SaharaReporters.
According to SaharaReporters:
In the leaked telephone conversation, the two governors can be heard having an excited conversation about how Mr. Wike stormed a collation center during the election.
The tone of the exchanges makes it clear that Mr. Wike’s aim was to manipulate the results of the elections in favor of his candidates. In a tone that shows how he outmanouvred the Nigerian Army, Wike declares in the conversation that, “Nigeria Army does not exist again.”
