The Northern Community in Rivers State has claimed the visit
by the Prof. Ango Abdulahi led Northern Elders Forum, NEF to Governor Nyesom
Wike was not in the interest of Northern businessmen and residents in the
state.
Leader of the Northern Community in the state, Musa Saido
said this in reaction to the visit by Prof. Abdulahi and his delegation to the
Government House in Port Harcourt.
Saido, who is also the President of the Arewa Initiative for
Peaceful Coexistence claimed that the Northern Elders were only in Rivers State
for other purposes because they did not meet with those affected by the
hijacked End SARS protest in the state.
“Personally, I was not aware of the visit. And they said the visit if for End SARS victims. I was the one who communicated with security agencies when the End SARS protest turned violent and all those who killed, I buried them at Trailer Park.
“What we are saying is that my organization and I, are not
aware of that visit. And as for the Northern Elders Forum that visited the
Governor and to them the Governor is doing good to their pockets, no problem.
“When did the Governor take care of Northerners in the
State. He has refused to see me for six years. So, if they say they are
thanking him, maybe money may have changed hands.
“Arewa Initiative for Peaceful Coexistence for which I am
the president is distancing ourselves from that visit and those who followed
NEF are on their own,” Alhaji Saido said.
Prof. Ango Abdulahi on Monday led the former Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Rt Hon Ghali Umar Na’Abba; former NRC presidential
candidate, Bashir Othman Tofa; Hakeem Baba Ahmed; General Saleh Maina among
others to meet Wike to ascertain the effect of the violent End SARS protest on
Northerners in Rivers State.
