Rivers
State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike, has explained that his action on October 8,
2016, where he allegedly intervened in the midnight raid on the house of a
judge, was not geared towards stopping the Depertment of State Services, DSS,
from arresting the judge, but to ensure that the right process was followed.
The
governor spoke, yesterday, at Government House, Port Harcourt, when he granted
audience to the leadership of Non -Indigenes Without Borders, chaired by Mr
Emeka Onowu.
He
said: “We have a sad situation where everything is being done at the federal
level to kill the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. However, in the end, it is
their own political party that will die.”
He
declared that the Federal Government was working relentlessly to kill the PDP.
Wike
He
noted that in the long run, it was the party that controls the Federal
Government that will die politically.
He
stated that deliberate efforts by agents of the Federal Government to stagnate
development in Rivers State will not succeed.
The
governor expressed dissatisfaction with the repeated plots to rig the
forthcoming re-run election in Rivers State. He noted that nobody would be
allowed to steal the mandate of Rivers people, no matter the deployment of
security agencies.
“They
are repeatedly shifting the date of the re-run election, so that they can have
a convenient time to rig. Nobody should be scared of their plan to use DSS and
police to rig the re-run election.
“The
policeman that is carrying gun, how many people can he kill? In Turkey where
they resisted the Army, are they not human beings ? Nobody will circumvent the
mandate of Rivers people,” Governor Wike said.
He
said that as an opposition state, the people of Rivers State were aware that
they will have battles for survival from those who control the federal level.
National
Leader of the Non-Indigenes Without Borders, Onowu lauded Governor Wike for
providing leadership that has helped to shape democracy in the country.
He
commended the governor for being a detribalised governor who caters for all
interests and ethnic groups.
