Ex-Ministers’ Solidarity Visit to Wike is Shameful, Bad Omen
- Rivers APC
…Urges NSA to arrest Senator Maeba for inflammatory
statement
…Tells Wike to submit
himself for Police Probe
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has
expressed amazement over the recent solidarity visit to Governor Nyesom Wike by
former ministers who served in the lackluster administration of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) sacked by Nigerian voters during the 2015 general
elections.
The party in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Chief
(Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, described the solidarity visit as shameful and a
bad omen for the country’s nascent democracy.
“We are shocked that Sule Lamido, erstwhile Jigawa State
Governor and member of the defunct New PDP (nPDP) that exposed the evils of the
Jonathan administration and thus contributed to its deserved fall, could lead
such a solidarity visit to Chief Wike, who is notorious for his lawless
administration, thus endorsing and motivating him to continue with the killing
of both civilians and security agents, turning Rivers State to Rivers of Blood,
thereby endangering our nascent democracy,” the statement issued on Tuesday in
Port Harcourt said.
Rivers APC alleged that the solidarity visit was not
necessarily informed by the ex-ministers’ love for Wike “but the love for
Rivers State money which Wike has continued to spend as he wishes, forgetting
that one day he will be asked to account for all the public funds being wasted
on a party that brought Nigeria to its present sorrowful State.”
Continuing, the statement said: “We must sincerely sympathize with the ex-ministers, especially Lamido, a former Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who was among visiting Northern Governors that were stoned and
shot by members of Grassroot Democratic Initative (GDI), the armed pressure
group of Nyesom Wike, then Minister of State for Education, after which he
described them as Fulani herdsmen. Today the same Sule Lamido is leading some
disgruntled former ministers to support Wike in his killing spree in Rivers
State.
“We can now understand why Wike
after two days of this sinister nocturnal visit decided to embarrass himself
during the commissioning of Ozuoba-Rumuoparaeli-Choba road on January 10, by
brandishing a matchet in public and threatening to cut down all who stand in
his way in Rivers State politics. One cannot but wonder how in the first place
Rivers State people got here and when the governor’s office became reduced to
this harum-scarum. How can a man occupying the exalted office of governor be
talking like a motor park tout? This man has only succeeded in bringing shame
to Rivers State, forgetting that power is transient.”
The party advised Lamido and his co-travelers to stop
wasting their time and warned that “no amount of solidarity visit to a drowning
man whose cup is full will save him and those supporting him from accounting
for all the atrocities under their watch in Rivers State.”
In the same vein, the party views
this statement "If they provoke us by fighting Governor Wike, they are
placing Rivers State on a keg of gun powder, Rivers will explode, and Nigeria
will suffer economically because there will be no oil to sponsor anything in
this country. Enough is enough because very soon, we shall define our stay if
the President does not define the peace we want in Rivers." ascribed to
Senator Lee Meaba as subversive, provocative and capable of inciting the Rivers
State people against President Buhari and the Federal Government. We therefore
urge the National Security Adviser (NSA) to as a matter of urgency arrest
Senator Meaba so that he can explain himself on this inflammatory statement
before he plunges this nation into another civilian war.
Finally, the party urges Wike to
prepare and face the Police investigation squarely and explain to Nigerians why
and how the rerun election was marred with violence orchestrated by his agents
now with his failure to stop the Police investigation of the December 10th
rerun election through the Judiciary.
