[dropcap]R[/dropcap]otimi Amaechi must know that as a common citizen like the rest of us, he must restrict himself to his polling unit and not meddle in the conduct of the rerun elections.
He should also be informed that he is also bound by the restriction of movement imposed on all citizens. As such he is to confine himself to his native town, Ubima, and not violate the rules governing the election.
If Amaechi is seen anywhere outside his polling unit or Ubima interfering with the conduct of the elections, Inec Rivers, INEC Nigeria and the Security agencies would have compromised the election and invited the visitation of chaos.
We want a peaceful, free, fair and credible election in Rivers State. As Minister, Amaechi is not entitled to special privileges that violate laid down procedures. He is entitled to his one vote in one polling unit just like the rest of us and that is where his power ends.
