The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on
relevant security agencies in Nigeria to investigate the introduction of
violence into the politics of Rivers State by alleged prominent Ogboni
member and governorship candidate of the PDP in Rivers State, Barr. Nyesom
Ezebunwo Wike.
The party in a statement signed by its Publicity Sscretary, Mr. Chris
FineboneBarely said, two days after prominent Kalabari Chiefs led by Chief
Broadfield Micheal-Jack.rejected Wike’s candidature as the PDP
governorship flag bearer for Rivers State and openly endorsed APC
governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside, supporters of Wike
unleashed terror on PDP party members and innocent people of Abonnema
where Wike visited to campaign yesterday.
The APC recalled that a few days ago, suspected PDP followers of Wike, in
a well-coordinated plan, shot APC supporters whose only offence was that
they decided to travel to Port Harcourt to attend the Buhari/Osinbajo
Campaign Flag-off last Tuesday. The criminal elements belonging to the PDP
opened fire on our members at Khana, Akukutoru and Asaritoru injuring many
with possible fatality not ruled out yet.
The statement also informed that early this morning, suspected Wike men in
the Okrika axis blew up the APC Secretariat at Okrika adding that
investigations by the Police are ongoing.
The APC called on the Inspector-General of Police, the Rivers State
Commissioner of Police, the Director of Department of State Security [DSS]
and all heads of security agencies to arrest and investigate Barr. Nyesom
Ezebunwo Wike and his followers for the string of mayhem presently taking
place across Rivers State
