…Restates Demand for State Police

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) demands for a comprehensive investigation into the Saturday’s explosion attack on the Christian Universal Church, Port Harcourt, River State capital, steered by father of River state Governor, Nyesom Wike.

Our party condemns this dastardly attack on the church, which we believe was well planned and targeted to causing harm to worshippers and persons close to Governor Wike, particularly, his father.

The PDP is disturbed by the intentions of the attackers in detonating an explosive in a religious place particularly given the large number of persons that usually gather at such places.

While we demand for a thorough investigation into the attack as well as prosecution of all those involved, we hold, as a party, that the time has come, more than ever in our contemporary history, for the amendment of our extant laws to allow state governors to be in charge of the security of their respective states.

We restate our call for the amendment of relevant sections of the 1999 constitution (as emended) to allow states more control of security issues in their respective domains.

Our party however commends the people of River state for their alertness, which led to the arrest of the attackers. Such courageous act by the people also points to the need to allow greater participation of communities and state governments in the handling of security issues in their environment.

The PDP especially commends Governor Wike for his efforts towards ensuring the security of his state despite the daunting challenges.

The PDP urges Governor Wike, the members of the Christian Universal Church and the people of Rivers State not to be deterred by this attack but to remain at alert especially at this critical time.

A thorough investigation should be conducted

After Umahi's defection, PDP now treats it's remaining Governors like fragile egg


It's in the open that Nnamdi Kanu made threat and called for assassination of Wike for a 50 million bounty...

Now let's see who Ipob would blame,

.

Wike is the chief security officer of the state so the blame should be at his doorstep

The same PDP that haven't condemned Oyigbo /Obigbo massacre till date.
SE and Ipob Umahi critics una see una lives?

Few weeks ago... the thrends on such bombing would have been enormous..

Ths clealy shows how the pdp reasons and where its interest lies,pdp is fast to condemn this killing,but could not also do the same against kilings in obigbo,seems some people are more important and valued than others.

. PDP is mad.

Useless PDP that cannot condemn Wike killing of Igbos in Obigbo, but quick to condemn attack of church building. Ordinary building fa

It is expected cuz Wike is the Lord and Grand Master of the PDP so they must pledge their loyalty to appease him and massage his ego.

My heart is with the IPOB cum PDP supporters who has been marginalized, oppressed, supressed and subjugated, yet they follow the PDP sheepishly like a sheep to be slaughter.

-Igbo sons and daughters, including school children were massacred in Obigbo, yet the PDP lost it voice but they have suddenly come out from their cave to show solidarity with that frog-voice tout called Wike.

-Many Igbo youths detained since that military invasion of Obigbo are facing summary execution later today, yet PDP has remained mute.

-Personally, I don’t think this PDP of a party still has a future in Igboland, especially considering their absolute failure across the Eastern States.

And Wike think Oyigbo boys will forget just like that?

Wike never see anything
