The All
Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State Chapter said the party is pleased
that, in Gov. Nyesom Wike’s usual copycat style decided to visit the bereaved
families
in ONELGA several days after former Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi had visited the area and commiserated with the people
over the killing of their loved ones, adding that “at least, it is not a crime
to copy someone who is naturally ahead of you.”
The APC in a
statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Finebone, condemned what
the opposition party described as the “huge joke” governor Wike made during his
visit to the effect that APC in Rivers State has enlisted the support of
supposed criminals he earlier declared wanted. We have no reason to be worried
when a weird character engages in an equally bizarre joke.
The
statement reads in part: “It is possible that governor Wike does not see the
right picture each time he is in front of a mirror. If he does, then he will at
least, acknowledge that he, and not the APC or Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, that
believe in triumphing in electoral contests chiefly through spilling of blood.
We believe that Nigerians, including the respected Prof. Itsay Sagay who
described Nyesom Wike as having climbed on dead bodies to become governor know
that much. Need we stress that further?
“We are
convinced that governor Wike only went to ONELGA to make a huge show because
his point man, Johnson Igwedibia alias Don Wani is dead. Why did Gov. Wike not
visit ONELGA when the likes of late Chief Christopher Adube, Ward 4 Chairman,
late Franklin Obi, Hon. Monday Eleanya and other APC members were gruesomely
murdered and beheaded by Don Wani and his gang over the years?
“It is
important to make it abundantly clear that there are overwhelming pieces of
evidence in public space and hopefully with security agencies confirming that
the governor and his party (PDP) commissioned Don Wani to kill APC members in
the ONELGA axis. They go beyond the photographs the governor and his key allies
appear in with Don Wani.
“As a party,
we understand what is happening to governor Wike over his ONELGA burst bubble.
The day Wike’s equivalent of Don Wani in the Yeghe axis meets his waterloo, the
governor will also visit Bori, gather victims of the Yeghe killer and make
donations of blood money to them.
“The message
of the APC to governor Wike is that every game comes to an end, one way or the
other. The way his game has ended in ONELGA is the same way it will end in
Yeghe and elsewhere in Rivers State. Trying to drag APC into the fray is
manifestly disingenuous and sheer waste of valuable time. The APC will never
subscribe to anything else than zero tolerance for criminality in all aspects
of its engagement with the people. Our leaders respect human life, they do not
threaten death to anyone like the governor does at the slightest opportunity.
We, unlike the PDP, have no business with criminals. Hope the governor gets
it.”
