Barely three days after unknown gunmen attacked the campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress in Okrika Local Government Area of Rives State, a former militant leader, Ateke Tom, has dismissed claims that the President’s wife, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, was behind the incident.
One policeman was killed while several APC supporters were injured when hoodlums opened fire on the governorship campaign rally in the area.
There were reports that Mrs. Jonathan, who is a native of Okrika Local Government Area, had a hand in the incident that led to the attack on a Channels Television correspondent, Mr. Charles Eruka.
But Ateke Tom, who rose in the defence of the President’s wife explained that Mrs. Jonathan would never be involved in the sponsorship of violence. He described her as a woman of peace.
He accused politicians of being responsible for the attack on the APC rally.
He said, “Politicians are pointing accusing fingers; but they are all politicians. But what I am sure of is that the President’s wife can never be involved in the attack at Okrika.
“She is seen as the mother of the country and she hates violence and the shedding of blood. She can’t be involved in such an act and I disagree with those saying she is responsible for the attack on APC campaign ground.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The bible says "the fool and his wealth will soon be separated". Ateke Tom can gather all the wealth he can, on account of GEJ's connivance/settlement, but what is important is that wealth that is earned unjustly will soon find its wings. I've never seen a government that is so inept and corrupt, asking a thief to be a watch over the same goods he steals. God will judge you.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that
DeleteAteke Tom is mere mortal. Patience is mere mortal too . You people are not God. All of you troubling this country will fall down and die in Jesus name. The wrath of God will descend on you and consume you. It is only a matter of time . Ateke should enjoy while it lasted.
