SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, (THEWILL) –The Rivers State Government believes that the allegations by the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Segun Oni, accusing Governor Nyesom Wike of being behind recent pockets of violence in the state, was a ploy to flood the state with soldiers and use them to hijack ballot boxes in the March 19 rerun elections.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications in Rivers, Dr Austin Tam-George, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, accused the APC of taking propaganda to a ridiculous height by claiming that every dead person in the state was a member of the APC.
According to the statement, “The attempt by the APC to appropriate every dead person in River State as their member might mean that the APC is in fact the sponsor of these satanic cult clashes, all in an attempt to destabilize the Wike administration
“The APC’s reckless and false allegations were part of a plan to incite the military and other security forces against the people of Rivers State. It is a crude plan to militarize the state and use the security forces to steal the results of the forthcoming re-run election,” Tam-George stated.
