The Rivers State Chapter of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, said she finds it disgustingly hypocritical for
the state Governor, Nyesom Wike to extend an advice on peaceful conduct of
congresses organized for the APC.
The party said the governor has
not been able to settle the massive violence and mayhem that characterized the
recent Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, local government primaries across Rivers
State which he allegedly created.
The APC in a statement signed by
its Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone said, “We believe that the unsolicited advice by governor Wike is a script from
his dubious and irresponsible politics to divert attention from the massive
criticism of the unbridled violence, killing and destruction of property during
the PDP primaries by well-meaning Rivers people and Nigerians.”
“It would have been far more
important if Gov. Wike had preached peaceful primaries to his party men and
women.
“It would have been quite needful
if the governor walked the talk by not planting the seed of imposition, discord
and deceit in his party which eventually led to the kind of unprecedented
violence that marred their primaries. That surely would have been a more
practical means of preaching peaceful congresses.
“The APC believed that Gov. Wike
is jittery that at the end of its congresses, peace-loving Rivers people will
have the opportunity to compare the activities of PDP and APC.
“The governor fears that Rivers
people will so easily confirm that PDP members as those responsible for the
political violence in Rivers State against the peaceful disposition of the APC.
It is this fear that has propelled Gov. Wike to embark on offering his tainted
advice. We say to him, ‘Physician, heal thyself.’
