Legit.ng gathered that the Rivers APC, through Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the senior special assistant on media/public affairs consultant to Rivers state Chairman, Chief Davies Ikanya, made the statement on Monday, January 22 in Port Harcourt.
Wike, while receiving Anglican Bishops of Niger Delta Province at the Government House, Port Harcourt over the weekend, alleged that President Buhari was under intense pressure from leaders of the APC to declare a state of emergency in Rivers.
The main opposition party in Rivers (APC) said: “Wike’s hatred for President Buhari and Amaechi is legendary, since the two APC leaders masterminded the ouster from office of his ATM, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, under whose watch our common patrimony was looted with impunity.
“Because of this, he is ever ready to use any forum to castigate, insult and malign these two great leaders, not minding the dire consequences.
“President Buhari never complained to Wike of any pressure to declare a state of emergency in Rivers state. We are shocked that Wike could bring the exalted office of the governor to odium, in such a reckless manner, to ascribe to President Buhari something he never said.
“To the best of our knowledge, the three issues that Wike discussed with President Buhari were Ogoni clean-up, the Nkpogu Junction (Port Harcourt) incident with Amaechi, where attempt was made on the life of the Transportation Minister and the detention of Wike’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) for one week.
“Nobody is interested in declaring a state of emergency in Rivers state, not minding the abysmal failure of Wike to ensure protection of the lives and property of the people of Rivers State.
“We urge Wike not only to call himself to order, but to formally apologise to President Buhari for ascribing words he never uttered to him, to score cheap publicity, always associated with him.”
Rivers APC also stated that the Neighborhood Watch about being established by Wike’s government would be used to cause more mayhem in Rivers state, to boast his chances during the 2019 governorship election, declaring that the Rivers governor stood no chance in any election, without violence.
