Amaechi after voting at his home town, Ubima Ward 8 Unit 14 said, “There is total failure of governance in the country. Complete failure. Police is helping PDP to arrest APC members, arrest SDP members.

“Gongs are being beaten about in the whole communities asking people who will not vote PDP not to come or they would be beaten. People are being beaten, the governor (Wike) has declared people wanted and nobody has spoken.

“The governor has no right to declare anybody wanted. The IG (Inspector General of Police) is doing nothing, nobody doing anyrhing. Complete failure. There is voter apathy in Rivers. Nobody wants to come out because people are scared.

“INEC is complete failure. There are those of us who opposed the reappointment of Yakubu Mahmood. The person who nominated him is a member of Tinubu’s camp. So what are you expecting?
