The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers, has urged security agencies to hold Governor Nyesom Wike responsible for Friday’s fire at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Bori.
This is contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Saturday by Chairman of APC in the state, Davies Ikanya...
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports
that INEC office in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of the state was
gutted by fire on Friday.
The party alleged that the election
umpire’s office was burnt down by hoodlums suspected to be Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) members.
It recalled that Wike had on Thursday, publicly threatened INEC, its Chairman, Ikanya and Senator Magnus Abe.
According to the statement, just less
than 24 hours after the threat, INEC office in Sen. Abe’s South-East
Senatorial District Headquarters, Bori, was burnt down.
“This is typical of the saying that the
witch cried last night and today, the child dies. Wike has, as usual,
carried out his earlier threat to visit us with fire. We now know better
what he meant. His boys burnt INEC office in Bori just because Bori is
the senatorial headquarters of Rivers South-East where Sen. Magnus Abe
hails from,” the APC said.
It alleged that Wike was encouraging killing, maiming and destruction of lives and properties for the sake of political power.
“We warned that whenever 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 Wike
and clinically executed by his foot soldiers,” the statement added.
