Buhari’s govt still focused on how to assassinate me –Gov Wike

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has berated the President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) for leaving business of governance to concentrate on him.

This was as he accused the APC government of allegedly hatching plots to assassinate him in a crowd and claim that it was accidental discharge.

The governor made the claim during the third year anniversary thanksgiving service of his government at Living Faith Church, D-Line, Port Harcourt, on Sunday.

He said: “Intelligence report available to us, as at this morning, (yesterday) indicate that they are plotting to assassinate me in a crowd and claim it was an accidental discharge.”

The governor however said that the plots allegedly being orchestrated by the APC Federal Government and its associates will not intimidate him because he will continue to be committed to the defence of democracy and Rivers State.

Insisting that the plot will fail because God will continue to protect him, Wike added, “the level of conspiracy against Rivers State is unfortunate. Instead of focusing on governance, they focus on how to assassinate me or frame me up.”

He further told the congregation at the church that the APC Federal Government through the Inspector General of Police, plotted to plant millions of dollars and AK 47 rifles at his Abuja residence, saying that it was the reason Police sought a search warrant from an Abuja court.

But he said that the plan failed following a court ruling last week, where Police was told it cannot search his Abuja residence.

“I am not afraid of my residence being searched by the Police, but I know their evil intention, “We are born to win, we are born to reign, we are destined for greatness. While other states are commissioning wheel barrows, we are commissioning infrastructure,” he said.

Also speaking on a breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily on Channels Tv on Monday, Wike state’s that the APC was bent on overthrowing the democratically elected government in the state.

He accused the federal government of manipulating the security apparatus in the state to ensure that his government is undermined.

According to him, this was the reason for the recent invasion of the courts in Port Harcourt recently by some persons suspected to be thugs.
