Rivers
State Governor Nyesom Wike has alleged that the Muhammadu Buhari-led
Federal Government has been working persistently to destroy the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
He
however said contrary to all the scheming to kill PDP, that the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC), will be the party to die instead.
Wike,
who accused the Federal Government of doing everything possible to rig
the forthcoming rerun election in the state in favour of the APC, added
that the “deliberate efforts” by proxies of the Federal Government to
stagnate development in the state would only amount to futility.
The
governor stated this when he received the Mr Emeka Onow-led
Non-Indigenes Without Borders at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
“We
have a sad situation where everything is being done at the federal
level to kill the PDP. However, in the end, it is their own political
party that will die.
“They
are repeatedly shifting the date of the rerun elections so that they
can have a convenient time to rig. Nobody should be scared of their plan
to use the DSS and police to rig the rerun elections. The policeman
that is carrying gun; how many people can he kill? In Turkey where they
resisted the Army, are they not human beings? Nobody will circumvent the
mandate of the Rivers people,” Wike said.
The
governor insisted that what he did at the residence of a judge on
October 8, 2016, who the DSS wanted to arrest around 1:am was not aimed
at stopping the security operatives from arresting a judge, but aimed at
making sure due process was followed.
