The Rivers state government has alleged that the security challenges rocking Rivers state currently was artificial and instigated by the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
The state government said it was aware of the ongoing moves by the said opposition to ensure that Rivers state was ungovernable so that the effort of the Governor Nyesom Wike administration to realize economic prosperity and infrastructural transformation for Rivers people was not achieved.
“From both the secret and open activities and actions of the APC, it is obvious that it is seriously frustrated by the great success story of the Wike led government and so is working frantically hard to ensure that the state is blackmailed as not being conducive enough, so as to scare away investors, but this will remain an effort in futility”, Wike said in a statement signed by his media aide, Opunabo Inkoh Tariah.
“Contrary to the running propaganda and falsehood by the said opposition, it is INDEED the APC that is sponsoring this crisis so they can create an occasion to wrongly accuse the government. This is most unfortunate and sad but again it only portrays them as having nothing to offer other than to keep circulating lies and falsely accuse government just so they could create topics for themselves so as to incite their miscreant loyalists to continually cause unrest and artificial tension in the state”.
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP says claim by Mr. Dakuku Peterside of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) that some of its members and leaders were planning to decamp to the APC were lies.
The State Chairman of the PDP, Felix Obuah on Tuesday expressed optimism while reacting to comments credited to Peterside that some members of the PDP were planning to decamp to the APC in the next few months.
Obuah in a press statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam revealed that in less than 100 days in 0ffice of the State Governor, His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike, over 3000 members of the APC, including those recruited to manage APC media propaganda structure have all decamped to PDP.
