Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused leaders of the All Progressives Congress in
the state of planning to bomb him while travelling in a plane.
Wike explained
that the target was for the state APC to get rid of him in its desperate bid to
unseat the Peoples Democratic Party-led government in the state.
Maintaining
that no one had the ability to destroy what God had blessed, Wike said the
opposition party in the state was not happy that he was paying workers’
salaries and pensions to retirees despite the economic recession.
Wike, who
spoke on Thursday at a thanksgiving service organised by the state PDP in Port
Harcourt, criticised those calling for bloodshed in the state for selfish
reasons.
The governor
said blood would continue to flow in their families.
He explained
that God would continue to grant him victory no matter how hard the APC leaders
in the state planned to eliminate him.
“They said
they will blow the plane that I will board. You are plotting, do you know
whether God will blow your own plane before that time?” the governor said,
adding that the state was under constant assault by the leaders of the
opposition party.

Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, said the allegation by Wike underscored
the extent the governor had become frightened by his (Wike) own shadow and past
iniquities.
He said,
“Governor Wike’s accusation that the APC is planning to bomb his plane simply
underscores the extent the governor has become hysterically frightened of his
own shadows and his past iniquities.
“It is quite
unfortunate that Governor Wike has become helpless in dealing with the outcome
of his past actions, but constantly suffering psychological relapses.
“However, it
is unfortunate that for want of credible defence of the many serious
accusations against him, Governor Wike is resorting to raising wild accusations
against the APC.
“Nigerians now
have a proof of the person that prides himself in threatening to kill people
and definitely the person is not of the APC."
