The Rivers State Chapter of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned its State Governor, Nyesom Wike to
stop his “unwarranted, unguided abuse and insult” on President Muhammadu
Buhari.
It warned that Wike should not
take the silence of Buahri on some of his “uncouth and gutter words on his
person and personality as a sign of weakness.”
The warning was contained in a
statement signed by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the media aide to the state
party Chairman, Ibiamu Ikanya.
In the statement, the party wondered what “ammunition Governor Wike has amassed to
strengthen him to boast that he will fight President Buhari to a standstill and
that if President dare touches him that Nigeria will collapse.”
The party warned Wike to stop
further interference in its affairs and face governance of Rivers State if he
still has anything to offer.
The statement reads: “The party
viewed some of the utterances of Governor Wike on the affairs of Nigeria as
that of a drowning man not minding that he was one of the principal actors that
looted our common patrimony with impunity and that his clownish nature will not
stop the arrival of his judgement day that is fast approaching.
“The party fails to understand
why Governor Wike should be meddling with the affairs of APC in the State
instead of busying himself on how to retire from the government house and what
will be his fate after the 2019 general elections.
“Governor Wike after mobilising
and funding some PDP hoodlums claiming to be APC members to destroy and
vandalise the Rivers State APC Secretariat on 4th May, 2018, Governor Nyesom
Wike has gone further to mobilise not only his hoodlums but the Government
House security led by his Chief Security Officer (CSO), Promise Wosu, a
Superintendent of Police (SP) and supported by his Chief of Staff, Government
House, Emeka Woke to dislodge a peaceful protest by some members of APC
protesting the plot by Governor Wike to use the court to stop an ongoing
congresses of APC sanctioned and approved by the National organ of the party.
For Wike to authorise the Attorney General of the Rivers State, Emma Aguma, SAN
and other PDP chieftains to join some hoodlums to threaten to sink APC in
Rivers State if the APC ticket is not given to the candidate of their choice is
most unfortunate and sad.
“We deny any involvement in the
invasion of the High court complex in Port Harcourt but embarked upon a
peaceful protest to protest the manner in which an injunction originated at
High Court at Bori could be transferred to Port Harcourt in less than 24 hours
with the court and the Wike’s men aiding the process. unfortunately the hoodlums
hired by Wike busied themselves in destroying and looting fans and other items
in the Court complex to give APC in Rivers State a bad name while his Security
apparatus was busy shielding Justice Chiwendu Nworgu to enable him issue an
injunction to stop a valid Congress that was ongoing without recourse to the
genuine party officials.”
The party noted with “sadness
that true to his clownish and motor park style of governance, Governor Wike
came out after few hours to inspect the Court Complex to know if his plot
worked out accordingly, after which he started his usual drama by raising false
alarm that APC and President Muhammadu Buhari are planning a coup against his
government as if he doesn’t know what coup means and the magnitude of such
unfounded accusation. ”
“Its unfortunate the inability of
Governor Wike to provide leadership in the State and assured him that his
antics and usual pranks will not help him this time around knowing very well
that even if APC decides to field a Local Government councillor as her
gubernatorial candidate for the 2019 general elections, such a Councillor will
surely upstage him.
“We are encouraged and motivated
by the position of Mr. Joseph Dogo on the congresses of the party, “we went out
to monitor the LG congresses in nine of the 23 LGAs. We saw a consensus. We saw
unity of purpose. We saw people who are together, working for the advancement
of this party (APC). Rivers people have made me proud. I do hope that by the
time we release the pictorial of the events that took place in Rivers State, do
not be surprised that people will be coming here to learn how you run this
party. We are happy and we are grateful for the warm reception you have given
us. When I addressed the press last week Sunday, I thought I had seen the best,
but yesterday (Saturday), I was made to realise that what happened last week
was just a preamble. The one of yesterday (Saturday) was so superlative. It was
a wonderful experience when we went out yesterday (Saturday) to see how the LG
congresses went on. I am satisfied with the results of the LG congresses in
Rivers State. From what I have seen, Rivers APC is on a sound ground. What
members of APC in Rivers State need to do is to keep this momentum going. Once
it is on course, and they continue to put their eyes on the ball and not on the
spectators, then they are assured that 2019 is for us to pick, because whatever
we take, we deserve. We do not take what we do not deserve. What I have seen is
that they (APC members) are prepared to take over this state in 2019”.
APC stated that with the above
statement “reassures Governor Wike that with the resounding success of her
Local Government Congresses monitored by both the National Committee of APC led
by Joseph Dago and INEC, he can be ready to bid the Brick House come 2019
goodbye so that a true peoples’ Government will be enthroned in Rivers State.
The party commended and congratulated all her party members who ensured that
the Local Government Congresses was held according to the constitution of our great
party and urged those elected to ensure that they live up-to the expectation of
the party.
“Finally, the party reassures the people of
Rivers State and the entire Nigerians that we are now more united and
determined to salvage our dear State from Wike’s misguided governance no matter
the odds.”
