– The APC raised alarm over politically-
motivated killings, intimidation and
persecution of it’s members in Rivers state
– It also accused Governor Nyesom Wike of
running a parallel country of his own and
ignoring the Constitution
– Recalling the rerun election in the state,
the party noted “wherever APC won, there
was no announcement, wherever PDP
maneuvered, it was announced”
– The APC concluded that Rivers is the only
state that is completely lawless
According to the APC, Governor Nyesom
Wike is running a parallel country of his own,
contrary to the laws of Nigeria.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
raised alarm over politically-motivated
killings, intimidation and persecution of it’s
members in Rivers state under the watch of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
government.
The Rivers state chapter of the APC also
alleged that Governor Nyesom Wike is
running a parallel country of his own,
contrary to the laws of Nigeria.
News men reports that Davies Ibiamu Ikanya,
the state’s chairman of the APC, made the
position known on Tuesday, April 26, at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
“It is very pathetic what is happening in Rivers
state now. The PDP governor in Rivers state
seems to be running a country of his own. He
does not obey any part of the Constitution. He
gives his own rules, he has his own sets of
laws and he does not bother about the
Constitution.
“I can give you instances; first and foremost,
this is a man that has his own army that is
free to kill and then all he does is go to call
AIT and he would give reasons why he should
kill. This is somebody that has actually
threatened anybody that wants to conduct
elections in Rivers state to write his will. We
lost a youth corper, some soldiers were killed,
a State Security Services operative was killed.
“Two days ago, Dr. Vincent Elvin Eebee, was
killed in Bori and this is where Nyesom Wike
has blackmailed soldiers not to carry out their
constitutional duty of taking away arms from
criminals. We are aware also that the office of
our senator, Senator Magnus Abe, was
brought down by bombs planted by hoodlums
in that area,” he said.
Speaking about the recent rerun elections in
the state that where declared inconclusive,
Ikanya noted some results were not
announced yet.
“Wherever APC won, there was no
announcement, wherever PDP maneuvered, it
was announced.
“It is very very sad, even an election where the
officer was asked to announce PDP at
gunpoint and it was on social media. That
result was still announced. The day that the
INEC electoral commissioner was giving
certificate to those PDP people, he told them,
none of you won any election, but because
INEC is not a court, we have to give them the
certificate,” he said.
According to the APC chairman, Rivers is
the only state that is completely lawless.
He recalled that the party’s members
complained to the inspector-general of
police, who said to them that he had given
clear orders that the police officers should
be professionals. However, he added that
order was not being obeyed in the state.
Meanwhile, Governor Wike believes that
the PDP will bounce back and return to
power in 2019.
Speaking during the PDP membership
mobilization programme in Jigawa state, he
said that Nigerians have already realized
that the APC is a political party founded on
deceit.
