Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., National Coordinator, Concerned
Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has dragged the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu and former National Chairman of the
party, Adams Oshiomhole to the US over the incarceration of Governor Nyesom
Wike of Rivers State in Edo State.
Recall that last night that the PDP claimed that the
hotel where Governor Wike is lodging in Benin, the capital of Edo State, was
surrounded by over 300 policemen.
The allegation was made by the party’s chairman in Rivers
state, Akawor Desmond.
Wike is in the state to monitor the polls, as he was
appointed Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo
Governorship election, a position Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State
holds for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Rivers State Governor, Wike’s movement has reportedly
been restricted to his hotel room in Edo State.
And in his letter to the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo,
Bamgbose, a senior lawyer, said, “We are convinced that this unlawful
restriction of Wike’s movement could have been masterminded by Oshiomhole, who
was recently slammed with US Visa ban and Bola Tinubu, who recently has shown
untoward aggressiveness in winning the election at all cost.
“Your immediate intervention is required to save the
situation. The Nigeria Police has not issued any information to justify Wike’s
incarceration. It’s obvious that the duo, Tinubu and Oshiomhole have plans to
rig the election at all cost in favour of the APC governorship candidate.
“Governor Wike has the constitutional right of movement,
which has been restricted by IGP, very likely via the instruction or knowledge
of the Presidency.
“This is nothing but impunity of the highest order. We
cannot continue like this in Nigeria. We covet your immediate intervention to
get Governor Wike out of unlawful imprisonment. We shall appreciate this
enormously.”
