The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has called on African lawyers
to help revive democracy in Nigeria, saying the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, has used the police to destroy its foundation.
The governor also accused the police of promoting crime in Nigeria,
saying, “most of the kidnapping in the country are done by the police.”
But the police promptly responded by describing the governor’s statement
as deceitful.
“Everybody knows the antics of Governor Wike,” police spokesperson
Jimoh Moshood told PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday.
“You people should disregard such statements. The Nigeria Police are not
promoting any crime. In fact, we are fighting crime with all the resources
at our disposal”.
“I want people to disregard such statement we have made a lot of progress
in terms of fighting crime and criminality.”.



According to a press statement by the state government, Mr. Wike alleged
that the APC was already laying the structures to rig the 2019 general
elections through the promotion of indicted police officers.
He made the allegations at a state banquet he gave members of the African
Bar Association at Government House, Port Harcourt on Monday night.
Mr. Wike said the police promoted Akin Fakorede, the Rivers State
Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) commander, whom he alleged was
filmed at a collation centre rigging election and beating up electoral
officials.
He said the police also promoted an Assistant Commissioner of Police,
Steven Hasso, “for his criminal role in the rigging of rerun elections on
December 10, 2016.



“They promised Nigerians change, but we are seeing nothing. The former
President of Tanzania by his visit has done us much good by his presence
in Nigeria. Through him, we will send a message to the world.
“Democracy in Nigeria is gone. By 2019, nobody should talk about
democracy. One Mr Akin Fakorede who was caught on video rigging
election has been promoted. Stephen Hasso who was also a culprit in the
rigging of elections has been promoted. Both of them are to be positioned
in Rivers State for 2019 to help the APC rig elections.”
But the police also dismissed the allegation concerning the promotions.
Mr. Moshood said the promotion of senior police officers is done by the
Police Service Commission.
“I am not aware of any promotion like that,” he said.
“Promotion is not done by the IGP of the Nigeria Police Force, it is done
by the Police Service Commission. And to the best of my ability the
commission has not released any list of promoted officers. Anything that
has to do with promotion, the commission is in charge.”
Speaking further, Mr. Wike claimed the APC has made it a policy to
intimidate and destroy the judiciary.
He claimed that the situation has degenerated to the level that police had
taken over the duty of the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC by allegedly certifying election results for APC to use at tribunals.
