Rivers State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned a statement credited to the All
Progressives Congress, APC, linking the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike,
to Tuesday’s scare in some primary and secondary schools over the rumoured plan
of the Nigerian Army to forcefully vaccinate school pupils.
The reaction is contained in a
statement on Wednesday by spokesman to state PDP chairman, Chukwuemeka Eze,
It reads: “At no time in history
has the tale of an idle person being the devil’s workshop played out as
presently manitested in the life and actions of the idle APC members in the
State who for want of what to do, a self-imposed punishment resulting from
mental laziness and intellectual poverty of their leaders who have mismanaged
the nation’s economy, thus turning the citizens into a rumour mill such as we
witnessed Tuesday morning.
“Ordinarily such a goof and
unwitting penchant by the APC to blackmail an innocent and comparatively, a
superior being, in the person of Governor Wike in a baseless information of
fake Army vaccine that cut across various states of the federation including
Ondo, Imo, Abia and Anambra States etc need not be responded to, but for the
singular reason to point out the level the APC has degenerated to, and their
strong resolve to stop at nothing in causing unnecessary disaffection between
the people and the State government so that it can waddle back its predatory
regime in the State.
“The PDP considers it not only
foolish but also wicked for the APC, and moreso, anybody whose sense of
reasoning is so warped and by whatever name or designation accepted to be used
to add salt to injury in a matter that requires our genuine concern to properly
inform our people, direct and educate them by countering any misinformation
like the rumoured fake army vaccination but who rather than do this, preferred
to politicize the all important issue so as to curry favour and patronage from
the security agencies at the expense of lives that such profitless adventure
will earn them.
“More stupefying is the linking
of the Police, notably, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) to the whole saga
when it was hardly mentioned in the reason for the Tuesday morning vaccine commotion.
“Could this be another way of
holding brief for the embattled SARS and its Commander, Akin Fakorede who by
their act and conducts have proved beyond every reasonable doubt that they are
the military wing of the APC.
“To us, that is bad publicity by
Mr. Chris Finebone, APC Rivers State Publicity and we believe the police high
command is taking note of the covert plot of the APC to quicken the eroding
public confidence in police due to the actions of SARS in Rivers State.
“We are also not less convinced
that the Rivers people especially the parents of the school pupils now know
better the kind of people that make up the APC legion who seem not to have any
remorse for the hardship and avoidable deaths they have caused innocent
Nigerians in the past two years, but still remain hell-bent on doing more harm.
“As though that is not enough,
instead of sympathizing with the parents who were only trying to show concern
for their children and wards though based on malicious propaganda by same APC
members by joining hands with the Wike administration to douse the tension,
preferred to point accusing fingers at our innocent performing State Chief
Executive.
“We condemn this treacherous and
wanton insensitivity of the APC in the State in its entirety and wish to call
on the good people of Rivers State and residents alike, to ignore both the
unfounded army vaccination rumour in schools and the rant of the APC, and send
back their children to school, but at the same time exercise caution while
going about their lawful businesses.
“The Nigerian Army has also done
well to debunk and dismiss the rumour as not only baseless but also unfounded.
“This is the spirit and not the
APC blackmail which as true to type, is the voice from the pit of hell.”
