Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the activities of suspected political thugs against the African Democratic Congress, ADC in Rivers State.

DAILY POST reports that gunmen invaded the ADC office in Ubima Ward, Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state on Friday and set the facility on fire.

Shortly after the incident, former governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, who was on his way to the ward for the ongoing African Democratic Congress, ADC, revalidation exercise, was blocked from gaining access to his community.

According to reports, his convoy was intercepted along the route by the armed men, preventing him from proceeding to the venue.

Reacting, Atiku in a statement on Friday night, condemned attacks on the opposition leaders, calling for thorough investigation into the Friday incident in Rivers State.

The statement reads, “The attack on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) office in Ubima, Ikwere Local Government Area of Rivers State, is condemned.

“It is a dangerous development that efforts to weaken the opposition have now shifted to attacking its members and destroying its properties.

“These are not merely attacks on the opposition coalition ADC, but an assault on our democracy.

The protection of the lives and properties of the opposition must, as a priority, be guaranteed by the Tinubu-led APC administration. That is the minimum expectation of Nigerians.

“We call for an independent investigation into the torching of the ADC secretariat in Rivers to ensure that those responsible are prosecuted in accordance with the law. Failure to do so may encourage others to inflict further violence on the lives and properties of the opposition.

Meanwhile, we are still awaiting the outcome of the investigation into the attack on Mr. Peter Obi and other ADC leaders last week in Benin, Edo State.”

This I can say any day doesn't have the signature of Wike. Amaechi is that prophet that is not recognised at home. He also doesn't see himself as part.of his local community until during election. Amaechi is someone that even when he was a minister if you greeted him in his native Ikwerre language in Abuja perhaps you wanted to express identity and closeness to him would answer you 'it doesn't matter ' disdainfully.
Today he is called Mr. It Doesn't Matter in Ubima. Now he needs his people and his people don't want him. It is a lesson learnt to all politicians. Remember your people not only during electioneering period.

Whether you are in APC, ADC, any other political party or none, everyone should condemn this in the strongest terms.

But if you are blinded by political loyalty or ethnicity to look the other way, shame on you.

Remember Martin Niemöller's famous poem.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

The Rigger in Chief has forgotten that it is his official duty to protect the opposition and democracy.

I don't trust politicians, Ameachi can arrange anything.

That's how they're. There's nothing political actors cannot do to gain public sympathy and demarket the ruling party. It's part of the game of politics. They go as far as taking lives to demarket whoever their target is.

I was born into a political family and I've been following politics since my secondary school days precisely in 1978.

Quit watching conspiracy videos on TikTok

Therefore, such incidents is not strange to me, it's about politics and power.

Tareq1105:
Hmmm, someone had said this before that he didn't do anything for his people and state when he was minister for 7 years.

Whalis:
This is where Wike has edge over him. Bros Ikwerre people and most Rivers people don't need to hear from Wike before taking actions on his behalf. Wike has grassroots followership. This can not be said of Amaechi.
