Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has accused the Nyesom Wike-led administration of not providing safety to voters who are attempting to cast their votes.

Amaechi after voting at his Ward 8, Unit 14, Ubima Community, Ikwerre Local Government Area alleged that the police are arresting persons who are not affiliated with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He described it as a "complete failure".

He said that even though the election was peaceful in his community there are reports of the arrest of candidates of the APC for the polls.

"Look at what is going on in Rivers State, the total failure of governance in the country. A complete failure such that the police is helping PDP arrest APC and SDP members. Gongs are been beating for asking those who won't vote for the PDP to stay indoors and the governor has no right to declare anyone wanted like he has done," he said.

His comment comes after it was alleged that the APC Candidate for Ahoada East State Constituency 2 seat in the polls, Ukalikpe Napoleon, has been kidnapped.
