A group in Rivers State, Ekpeye Youths
Congress (EYC), has urged the Federal Government to investigate the alleged
plot by the Inspector General of
Police, Idris
Ibrahim, to kill the state governor,
Chief Nyesom Wike.
Recall that Governor Wike, once again, alleged
a plot by the Inspector General of Police to kill him. The governor also
expressed concern that the appropriate authorities had never bothered to
investigate this allegation.
Reacting to the development, Ekpeye Youth Congress, in a statement signed
by its President General, Comrade Dan Igbudu, condemned the Federal Government
for the ‘graveyard’ silence it had maintained over various allegations of
threat to the governor’s life.
Sun news reported that the group explained that security of citizens
should be paramount to the government, and wondered why it chose not to
investigate the governor’s allegation.
The congress described Governor Wike as, an
illustrious son of Rivers State and a worthy son-in-law of Ekpeye and warned:
“Wike will not be allowed to be humiliated by federal agencies, the way the
former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepriye Alamieyeseigha was humiliated before
his untimely death…
“The instigation of the federal agencies,
against the Rivers State government is politically-motivated, and it is aimed
at stifling him to submission and if possible, eliminate him because of his
uncompromising stance.”
