Wike’s half-hearted response to the serious issue of Biafra protests portrays grave incompetence and possible collusion


The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, notes with heavy heart the level of ineptitude displayed by the Rivers State Government following the spate of violence and disruption of social and economic activities imposed on the peaceful people and residents of Rivers State especially Port Harcourt and environs on Tuesday by groups of protesters under the aegis of indigenous people of Biafra.

More disturbing to the APC is the fact that even as security agents battled with extreme caution to contain the sporadic protesting groups, the Rivers State Government suddenly developed inexplicable laissez-faire attitude making many to believe that the protests enjoyed the tacit support of the government.

However, given the sensitive question of Biafra and indeed any self-determination agitation for that matter, the APC advisedly observed dignified quietude, not wanting to be seen to play politics with a very serious issue of national security. This was despite the discomfort, assault and humiliation that innocent people suffered in the hands of the irate mobs at several locations in Port Harcourt and environs.

The APC condemns, with every vehemence it can muster, the obvious incompetence and cluelessness the Rivers State Government displayed before and throughout the period the orgy of protests lasted. We see the eventual broadcast by Gov. Nyesom Wike condemning and banning further pro-Biafra protests as medicine-after-death, face-saving and dishonest. A purposeful and focussed government was supposed to have understood the enormity and implication of a sensitive issue such as Biafra agitation and timeously mobilized and engaged critical sections of the populace such as the traditional leaders and others to reject any attempts by external agitators from encroaching and desecrating the sanctity of the territorial integrity of Rivers State under whatever guise.

For the avoidance of doubt, the APC is not averse to any group in Nigeria embarking on any form of lawful agitation but we frown at unlawfully interfering with the peaceful existence of others in the name of agitation or protest as have happened twice in the past couple of weeks in Port Harcourt. We detest any group of agitators leaving their lawful locations to violate the territorial integrity of Rivers State in the name of protest. For example, the indigenous people of Ogoni have not at any time taken their agitation for a better life for their people outside of Rivers State.

The APC condemns the barbaric and unwarranted attack on innocent people of all shades and background by the protesters. We also condemn the attack and destruction of symbols of state and billboards of churches by the Biafra protesters.

However, the APC believes that the Rivers State Governor, Barr. Nyesom Wike is yet to brief Rivers people of the content of demand presented to him by the Biafra protesters when they marched to Government House, Port Harcourt during the first protest. Curiously, the same protesters engaged security agents at Eleme Junction yesterday, insisting that they be allowed to visit Government House, Port Harcourt to register their protest with the governor the second time. We urge Gov Nyesom Wike to go beyond his superficial broadcast of yesterday and tell the honest story behind the seeming romance between him and the Biafra agitators.

"engaged critical sections of the populace such as the traditional leaders and others to reject any attempts by external agitators from encroaching and desecrating the sanctity of the territorial integrity of Rivers State under whatever guise."

This is what an average south southern takes biafrags for.
When you expect the rivers apc to capitalise on the so called igbo in ph to their advantage.
Every s southern knows when to draw the line between politics, ethnicity/land. Ask @tonyebarcanista that

it seems the apc at the centre is different from the one in rivers state.

Continue living in bondage and sycophancy till it escalates beyond the point that the political financeers get engulfed.
There is nothing that will convince any deep thinking individual that Wike is not supporting this IPOB actively or tacitly. How come that twice that demonstrations have occurred, its been most vociferous in Rivers state, than even Anambra, or Abia, the known heart belts of the SE.
Wike's sins are mounting and sooner than later,God will leave him unbare and then d govt will make him account for all the havoc he has wrecked on this nation.

U are a fool for accepting that it's your lot for a thug to be your governor. Unless u are also a tout like Wike.
In civilized climes,Wike wud have been looking at at least several years behind bars and in a place like China, possible death sentence or at least life.
Idiot,proud to be governed by d likes of Wike when u shud be asking God what sin Rivers people committed for him to have allowed the likes of Wike to ascend that seat, even if d election was rigged.

APC and Chris Finebone tho... Playing politics with every single event that happens in Rivers state, accusing the governor here and there.
What else would a responsible and listening government have done? The Rivers state government led by Gov. Wike is the first to openly condemn the protest in a state-wide broadcast, condemning the break down of law and order by the protesters and also banning any further protest in the state under any guise.

Many rivers indigens are in jail for Biafra nw, yet their govt are living in denial? Claiming dat protester are frm elsewhere?

will also be safe to say that ACN was behind occupy Nigeria ?

Tunami:

If election is rescheduled, votes r needed so whatever they say need to be guarded.

APC and Buhari are Boko Haram....El-Rufai

APC is really Develish! U don't dare play politics with the secutity of the nation. The same thing they did with the Boko Haram insurgency.
APC is evil.
Only time will tell...

What are u enjoying:brigandage,lawlessness,the return of militancy and impunity now that touts are now also in the state assembly and lga chairmen, and thr rape of d State treasury thru unaccounted projects?
If this is what u call enjoyment, then u shud have a reevaluation of whatever level of education u managed to acquire.

why are you using words like that, you need not call him/her a fool, what for, what would APC have done different? You guys allows like calling Wike a thug, and his achievements in life, nobody from your family or village can surpass him not even you, that is a learned gentleman you see there a member of the NBA, you must be careful how you address people, if you feel Wike has any issues to answer you are free as a citizen of the country to sue him not running your mouth every time on Nairaland, take him to court to answer for his crimes and if you can't you keep your mouth shut and let him enjoyed his innocent status until a competent court proves otherwise

Oppose Biafra and see your party lose Rivers State


APC should keep taking anti Biafran stance but they should not weep when pro-Biafran Rivers instigate the populace to vote against APC
