Rivers APC Urges Buhari To Probe Wike Over Political Murders by captainprogress(op): 3:25pm On Sep 29, 2015
THE All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has called President Muhammadu Buhari to probe Governor Nyesom Wike over some alleged political murders in the state.

Chairman of the party, Dr Davies Ikanya, in a statement made available in Port Harcourt, urged President Buhari to look into the murders associated with the 2015 polls, as well as alleged intimidation of the party’s witnesses at the governorship election petition tribunal, Abuja.

Reacting however, Governor Nysome Wike described the allegations as outlandish and spurious and urged APC and Ikanya to stop what he said was a show of shame.

He said the resort by Rivers APC to the use of fabricated tales and indecent commentaries, aimed at distracting his administration, was an unfortunate demonstration of total disrespect to the government and people of Rivers State.

Making reference to a petition said to have been sent to the president and security agencies over some 97 murder cases, Ikanya said it captured the threat and present insecurity in the state.

He accused the governor of having a lukewarm attitude to the situation, adding that it was a cause for concern that security agencies have not investigated or prosecuted anyone over the violence which he alleged characterised the March 28/April 11 elections in the state.

The Rivers APC chairman recalled that former Governor Rotimi Amaechi had constituted the Professor Chidi Odinkalu Commission of Inquiry into the heinous crimes committed before, during and after the elections.

He added that, “However, on assumption of office, Wike procured a court judgment barring the constituted Chidi Odinkalu Commission of Inquiry.

“This action by Chief Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) denied the people justice.”

Reacting, Governor Wike said, Ikanya, by using a recycled press statement, had proved “that he is the mouthpiece of a desperate clan that viciously damaged Rivers State, but are only comfortable using propaganda to divert attention from their unfortunate and disastrous reign.”

Wike added that, “It was under the failed Rivers State APC administration that known cultists were released from detention for political reasons, a few days to the general election. Nigerians heard the Rivers State PDP raise alarm when the failed former governor took that action.

“Mr Ikanya cannot continue to rehash same lies all over again. They were at the tribunal, tendered the same concocted photographs which were rejected.”

“They failed to call any witnesses to prove that their members suffered any violence and they had no case other than the tales by four misguided gossips who pretended to be soldiers and policemen.

“The game is up for the Rivers State APC. These lies are no longer effective and it is time that Mr Ikanya sought another means of livelihood. Displaced politicians like Ikanya and his sponsors must accept this fact.”
