Governor Nyesom Wike has been tagged as satanic and bloodthirsty by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state. This comes due to the violence which erupted out in the state during the March 19, 2016 rerun elections.
APC claim that more than 100 of its members “was sent to the graves” for the governor to occupy the state’s number one position.
Statement released by Chukwuemeka Eze, the spokesperson of Rivers APC Chairman, Davis Ikanya.
It reads:
“Wike is being emboldened by the immunity he enjoys as governor but he does not enjoy immunity from interrogation for murder-related crimes. He should be held responsible for the assassination attempt… relevant security agencies should quickly arrest and interrogate him and bring the full weight of the law on all those involved in the dastardly act.”
“On the day of the rerun election, 19th March, 2016 the strategy of Chief Wike dressing his gang of killers in police and military uniforms was duly exposed when his special assistant on special projects, Mr. Cyril Dum Wite, was caught with N40 million, arms, police and army uniforms in his car. We were not surprised because to install Wike as a governor, 100 APC members had to be sent to their early graves.”
[quote_box_center]“We have often cried out about Wike’s bloodthirstiness but, unfortunately, nothing was done to keep him in check. Before last weekend’s state and national assembly rerun election in the state, we had openly cried out following Wike’s open threats on the lives of President Muhammadu Buhari, chief of army staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, and minister of transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. Those who thought we were shouting wolf where one does not exist now know better.[/quote_box_center]”
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″]“Wike in only ten months in office is fast turning Rivers state into another Somalia. He is attempting to dwarf other evil and satanic regimes such as those of Mobutu Sese Seko, Emperor Jean Bedel Bokassa and Idi Amin Dada known for displaying optimum barbarism.”[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]“Wike now hunts his opponents like a game, with many beheaded, clubbed to death or buried alive like chicken. All these have further exposed Wike as being grossly unfit to occupy the exalted office of governor. We hereby plead with the federal government to rescue us from Wike’s hands before he turns Rivers into a failed state.”[/vc_column][/vc_row]
Wike’s party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has also blamed the APC for the violence which claimed about 10 lives in the state.
