BEVERLY HILLS, JULY 22, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has urged security agencies to hold the state governor, Nyesom Wike, responsible for the arson on the Bori office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Khana.
The APC made this allegation in a statement by its chairman in Rivers, Davies Ibiamu Ikanya which was made available to newsmen on Friday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The statement reads, “This is exactly what we have been saying; just yesterday Nyesom Wike was publicly threatening INEC, its Chairman, myself and Senator Magnus Abe and in less than 24 hours the INEC office in Senator Abe’s South-East Senatorial Headquarters (Bori) has been burnt down.
“This is typical of the saying that the witch cried last night and today the child dies. There’s no need looking elsewhere, Nyesom Wike has, as usual, carried out his earlier threat to visit us with fire; we now know better what he meant. He has carried out his threat by sending his foot soldiers to burn down the INEC office in Bori just because Bori is the Senatorial headquarters of Rivers South-East where Senator Magnus Abe hails from.”
While urging security agents to hold the governor responsible for the dastardly act, Chief Ikanya said, “Yesterday, we warned that whenever Nyesom Wike resorts to throwing mud at innocent people and making unwholesome accusations, he must be up to his familiar sinister games; today it has manifested in its fullness.
“Security agents should ignore his attempts to blame this heinous act on the APC or anyone else, it was obviously planned by Gov. Nyesom Wike and clinically executed by his foot soldiers.”
