APC calls for Wike’s arrest
The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the state governor, Nyesom Wike, over an alleged assassination attempt of the Director General of NIMASA, Dakuku Peterside.
The party, which expressed outrage at the alleged attempt, described it as outrageous and condemnable, adding that it was a brazen attempt to snuff out the lives of three key leaders of Rivers APC.
It called on relevant security agencies to quickly arrest and interrogate him and to hasten to bring the full weight of the law on all those involved in the dastardly act.
The party made the call in a statement by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, SSA Media and Public Affairs to the state Chairman of APC.

“We have often cried out about Wike’s bloodthirstiness but, unfortunately, nothing was done to keep him in check.
“Before last weekend’s state and National Assembly rerun elections in the state, we had openly cried out following Wike’s open threats on the lives of President Muhammadu Buhari, Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, and Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
“Those who thought we were shouting wolf where one does not exist now know better”, the APC said.
The party also lamented that Governor Wike, in just 10 months in office, is turning Rivers State into another Somalia.
“He is attempting to dwarf other evil and satanic regimes such as those of Mobutu Sese Seko, Emperor Jean Bedel Bokassa and Idi Amin Dada known for displaying optimum barbarism. Wike now hunts his opponents like a game, with many beheaded, clubbed to death or buried alive like chicken.”
