This, though real is most unbelievable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The State PDP chairman however appealed to Rivers people to remain calm in<br \/>\nthe face of the unprovoked attack and siege being perpetuated by those<br \/>\nopposed to peace in the State so that they can have their way and continue<br \/>\nwith their exploitation underdevelopment of Rivers State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are happy and grateful God is on our side. Each time they come up with<br \/>\na new strategy to cause mayhem they end up hitting the air because even<br \/>\nthe gods of the land abhor their intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, this particular sacrilege of attempting to shoot our Governor<br \/>\nwill never be taken kindly,\u201d Bro Obuah said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described as most sacrilegious, the attempt by security operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and policemen to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Attempt On Life Of Gov Wike By Security Operatives, A Sacrilege - PDP - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/attempt-life-gov-wike-security-operatives-sacrilege-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Attempt On Life Of Gov Wike By Security Operatives, A Sacrilege - PDP - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described as most sacrilegious, the attempt by security operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and policemen to&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/attempt-life-gov-wike-security-operatives-sacrilege-pdp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-10-08T15:45:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/obuah.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"480\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/attempt-life-gov-wike-security-operatives-sacrilege-pdp\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/attempt-life-gov-wike-security-operatives-sacrilege-pdp\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"Attempt On Life Of Gov Wike By Security Operatives, A Sacrilege &#8211;
