Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has insisted that there will be two governments in Nigeria in 2015 if the elections are rigged.
NewsWire NG, reports that Amaechi made the statement on Saturday when speaking on invasion of the National Assembly by the police on Thursday.
The Rivers governor said, "We don’t have democracy in Nigeria yet. What we have is diarchy. We don’t have a democracy. Diarchy is dictatorship. The Federal Government has appropriated the police as its personal property. The FG has taken over the police. See the way the police took over the National Assembly. By law, the police have no power to invade the National Assembly and they have no power to stop the Speaker from going in or out of the National Assembly complex. But they don’t obey law".
What is the essence of going to court when the Federal Government doesn’t obey the law? That’s why the APC say we won’t go to the court any longer. If you rig us out, we would rig ourselves in; which means if you think you can rig us out in 2015, we will form our own government. We have met on that and we have agreed on that. We will install our own government and there would be two governments.
"The only way to avoid a parallel government is to have a free and fair election. You can’t continue to use the police as if it is a private agency or company of the government.”
