The Labour Party was rigged out of the 2023 general election in Rivers.

This is according to a former chief whip of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Evans Bipi.

He said the rigging was supervised by former Rivers governor Nyesom Wike.

Speaking at a support rally held for the state governor Siminalayi Fubara, by women’s organizations from all 23 local government areas, Bipi particularly claimed that the Labour Party “won all their elections.”  in the state.

Recall that the former chief whip was responding to a recent outburst by Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in a widely circulated video.

Recall that Wike recently asserted that no one would challenge him and his allies in the upcoming general election. Wike and Governor Fubara, his immediate successor, have been at odds shortly after the commencement of Fubara’s tenure as the governor of the state.

The out-gone governor was reportedly  promising his followers that Fubara would lose the next governorship and be forced out of the state’s government house.

In response, Bipi, who was Fubara’s rally representative, stated that given the degree of female mobilization, Fubara would be a clear winner in any election.

In addition, he said that Wike and his supporters failed to secure any seats in the 2023 elections.

He said, “It is written in Exodus 14:13 that the Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more. Last weekend, they went to a thanksgiving party and bragged that they wished tomorrow was 2027.
