HotNews:Why River State have become a killing field - A.P.C

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers of
being responsible for the spate of killings in
the state.
The APC claimed the killings were politically
motivated and called on security agencies to
look into them.
Vanguard reports that this came after
Governor Wike was quoted as saying the
Peoples Democratic Party was poised to
take over power in 2019.
Mai Mala Buni who is the national secretary
of the APC said in Abuja on Wednesday, May
11 that Wike’s comment was to shift
attention from the atrocities he was
committing in the state.
Buni said: “The national secretariat of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, in reacting
to the idle 2019 postulations of the Rivers
State governor, Nyesom Wike, caution
security agencies and Nigerians not to be
hoodwinked by this latest ploy to deflect
attention from the continued and increased
spate of mass killings and violence in the
state.
“In monitored media reports, Nyesom Wike
stated in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State
capital, on Tuesday, that the PDP is currently
being re-organised to takeover the seat of
power in 2019. “The spate of killings in Rivers
State has now assumed genocidal dimensions
with horrendous killing and maiming of
residents and security personnel almost on a
daily basis.
“On Monday, five mobile policemen, including
a deputy superintendent of Police, Mr. Nasiru
Halidu, were ambushed and killed at Okobe in
Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers
State.
“On Tuesday, five persons were killed and
scores injured in attacks in different parts of
the state. The state High Court premises in
Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, also
came under attack.
“Clearly, Rivers State has been transformed
into a killing field. The APC calls on the Police
and other security agencies to, as a matter of
urgency, rise to stop the breakdown of law
and order which has resulted in mass killings
and other forms of violence in Rivers state.”
He said instead of joining words with Wike,
the APC would concentrate on delivering its
campaign promises.
“Since the APC-led administration took over
the governance of the country, the fight
against Boko Haram had been invigorated with
regional and global support and cooperation
against the terror group.”
Earlier, The APC raised alarm over
politically-motivated killings, intimidation and
persecution of it’s members in Rivers state
under the watch of the PDP.
The Rivers state chapter of the APC also
alleged that Governor Wike was running a
parallel country of his own, contrary to the
laws of Nigeria.
