Wike plotting to eliminate me, Sen Abe cries

He also alleged that there had been a meeting of militants in Ogoni sponsored and masterminded by Wike against him.

“There is an evil in Rivers State and I have chosen to speak against it. If anything happens to me, Nigerians, Rivers, Ogoni people and my family should hold Governor Nyesom Wike and his PDP people responsible because the threat against my life is too much”, Senator said.
Speaking further, the APC candidate said there is the possibility of his being attacked and the Rivers State government under Governor Wike would paint a picture that his people killed him because of the Yeghe crisis.
He however pointed out that the Ogoni people love him and would not do anything to harm if outsiders or those who could be sponsored by the state government are involved.
It would be recalled that Senator had recently accused leaders of the PDP in Rivers State öf being the brains behind recent crisis in Ogoni because of their desire to stop him by all means from winning the forthcoming senatorial election rerun in the area.
