APC cannot win any election in Rivers State - Governor Wike

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ift.tt/1UBnIkJ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://ift.tt/1SlGmGH" width="400" /></a></div> According to the press statement released by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor, Electronic Media, Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC,  is not in a position  to  win any election in the state, adding  that  the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi is merely sponsoring  violence  to remain  relevant  politically.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <br /> <a id="more" name="more"></a><br /> Governor  Wike  informed  that  with the proofs of corruption  against  Rotimi Amaechi,  the Minister of Transportation resorted to blackmailing  the leadership of the  All Progressives Congress that he would reveal to the public how much  he invested in the  party’s  campaign  if he was not confirmed as a minister.<br /> <br /> This is even as the Senate Caucus  of the Peoples Democratic Party,  PDP, led by Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio  insisted  that  the  Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,  must release the  collated results of the March  19, 2016 rerun  elections.<br /> <br /> Speaking  during  a  solidarity  visit by the  PDP Senate  Caucus,  Governor  Wike said  the Minister of Transportation  lost his local government area and Federal Constituency,  hence his desperation  to influence  the  release of  the  results.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He said: "Any person  who  loves Mr President  won't be causing unnecessary  crisis for him. We have problem in the North East, problem in the South-East, so there is no need for another problem  in the South-South .<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> "It is good that the elections were held so that Nigerians  will know the truth about the polity. If elections  are held 20 times, PDP will win".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The governor  decried the role played by soldiers  during the rerun  elections.  He said the military  were directly involved in the  elections  at polling  units  and at the collation centres  in  direct violation of the Electoral Act.<br /> <br /> <br /> He regretted  the killing of  the  corps member, Samuel Okonta  during  the  rerun elections,  but stressed that  investigation  into  the  type of bullet  that  killed him  must be made public.  He confirmed  that  the  state government  will immortalise the late corps member.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Earlier,  Senate Minority  Leader and Leader of Senate PDP Caucus,  Senator Godswill Akpabio said that the victory recorded by the PDP  in Rivers State is: "A clear case of justice  being done by God".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> While describing  Rivers State as  peaceful , Senator  Godswill Akpabio regretted the sponsored propaganda  by the opposition  to  destroy  the  image of  the  state.  He said  that there is no other political  party in the state outside  the  PDP.<br /> <br />  He called for tolerance  in the political  space to allow for the sustenance  of  the  state's multiparty  democracy.<br /> <br /> Highpoint of the visit was the donation  of N1million  by the Senate to the family of Late Samuel  Okonta  through  Governor Wike.  Senator Godswill Akpabio  prayed that Okonta's death would be  the last during  elections.  He also commiserated  with  the  government and people of the state over the death of  PDP  members during the rerun elections.<br /> <br /> <br /> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://ift.tt/1UBnIAZ" width="1" /><br /> <br /> from Welcome to Linda Ikeji's Blog http://ift.tt/1SlGmGJ<br /> via <a href="http://ift.tt/16Xitlp">IFTTT</a>

Amaechi blasts Wike over comments on monorail, killings in Rivers state

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ift.tt/1ThGyLZ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="http://ift.tt/1pJm3fg" width="400" /></a></div> “Monorail Belongs To Rivers State, Not Amaechi”. This is a press statement released by <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">RT. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi media office for the Gov. of Rivers state.</span><br /> We watched with disgust and disbelief the recent television interview of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, excerpts of which had also been used in some newspapers. It was the typical Wike, twisting, butchering and turning the truth upside down; and in most cases telling outright deceptive lies in his failed bid to denigrate, tarnish and rubbish the towering image, person and laudable, landmark achievements of his predecessor and now Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.<br /> <a id="more" name="more"></a>Most troubling, was Wike’s propensity, without any qualms whatsoever, to play politics with the safety and security of the lives of Rivers people. This is indeed most worrisome. It is no secret that Wike plays politics with development, the welfare and well-being of Rivers people. But no government should play politics with the safety and security of its citizens like Wike is sadly and shamelessly doing.<br /> <br /> Governor Wike claimed that the brutal political killings and murder of the All Progressives Congress (APC) members and other hapless citizens in the State are cult related or a result of cult clashes. What cult wars is he talking about? Since he claimed to have security reports, we challenge Wike to tell Rivers people the cult group that Franklin Obi, the APC Ward chairman in Omoku, belongs to, that led to his being gruesomely, beheaded and butchered, alongside his pregnant wife and teenage son. Or did Franklin suddenly became a cult member because he had the guts and courage to host a resoundingly successful ward meeting of APC faithfuls in the same ward as Wike’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State chairman, Felix Obuah, just a few days to the re-run elections?<br /> <br /> We challenge Wike to tell us the cult groups and the cult wars that led to the killing of the innocent youth corper, Chukwudumeibi Okonta on the re-run Election Day? Was the Youth Corper a cultist or victim of cult wars or yet another victim of politically motivated killings in Rivers State? Wike must tell Rivers people the cult wars that led to the brutal murder of hundreds of Rivers people since the so-called election that made him governor, and the cult groups that all those that have been murdered, belong to.  Wike’s cult wars/cultists claim is akin to insulting and spitting on the graves and memories of all those murdered and their families.<br /> <br /> With pity, we watched as Wike tried to compare the political killing of the late Okonta and INEC adhoc staff on the rerun  election day in Rivers State to the fire accident that occurred at the home of the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner  in Kano State days after the elections of 2015. How pathetic. Even for Wike, this is a new low.<br /> <br /> On the Rivers Monorail project, Governor Wike said that he will not touch Amaechi’s monorail and that the entire state has told him not to continue with the project. Can someone please tell Wike that the monorail belongs to Rivers State and it’s not Amaechi’s private monorail? Pray, Governor Wike, which Rivers people told you not to touch the monorail project? Is it the same Rivers people that have consistently praised the project and see it as a catalyst to jump-start the local economy and place the state at the forefront of transport infrastructural development in Africa? Or is Wike aggregating the jaundiced views of the coterie of court-jesters that hang around him daily, as the opinion of the entire people of the State? It is sad, very sad that Wike has elected to play politics with this laudable project that was almost completed before Amaechi left office.<br /> <br /> Governor Wike also described several ongoing projects in the State when Amaechi left office as ‘abandoned projects’ that he claimed to have completed or about to complete. He specifically mentioned the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity road that connects the Island of Opobo to Andoni and the rest of the State.  What a shameless lie! This project was ongoing and was almost completed as at May 29, 2015. May we also remind Wike that the Eagle Island- Diobu road that he once claimed to have been abandoned was 90 percent completed with just the final course of coal tar remaining as at when he succeeded Amaechi.<br /> <br /> It’s repudiating that Wike would even attempt to rubbish and destroy the laudable projects and achievements Amaechi made in the health and educational sectors as governor. Shamefully, what has happened in the past months since Wike became governor is that Wike has neglected the model schools and health facilities built by Amaechi and have allowed them to rot away, taken over by weeds and grasses, in tandem with his policy of not wanting to touch Amaechi’s projects or build on Amaechi’s enduring legacies. Governor Wike, these projects belong to Rivers State and its people, not Amaechi. <img alt="" height="1" src="http://ift.tt/1ThGyM1" width="1" /><br /> <br /> from Welcome to Linda Ikeji's Blog http://ift.tt/1pJm56I<br /> via <a href="http://ift.tt/16Xitlp">IFTTT</a>
