Rivers State Governor, Chief
Nyesom Wike, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari was under pressure
from leaders of the All Progressives Congress to declare a state of emergency
in the state.
Wike made this claim on Friday
when he received the Anglican bishops of the Niger Delta Province in his
office.
The governor complained that he
learnt of the pressure on the President during his meeting with the
Commander-in-Chief at the State House.
Wike, however, said that the plan
to make the President declare a state of emergency in Rivers failed while
measures put in place by the APC leaders to achieve their aim only manifested
in their states.
He said, “When I went to see the
President, he told me that he was under pressure to declare a state of
emergency in Rivers State.
“Those things they planned to use
in declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State fell on their own states and
it became difficult to do so.”
He said, “When you sit and plot
evil against Rivers State, you will not know peace. If they don’t apologise for
plotting and executing evil against Rivers State, they will never know peace.”
The governor said that the state
survived because of the prayers of clerics and the church.
“If you don’t participate in what
is happening through voting, the country will degenerate further. People should
acquire their Permanent Voter Cards to enthrone the leadership they desire,” he
said.
