The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said
she finds it disgustingly hypocritical for the state Governor, Nyesom
Wike to extend an advice on peaceful conduct of congresses organized for
the APC.
The party said the governor has not been able to settle the massive
violence and mayhem that characterized the recent Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, local government primaries across Rivers State which he
allegedly created.
The APC in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Chris
Finebone which was made available to DAILY POST, said, “We believe that
the unsolicited advice by governor Wike is a script from his dubious and
irresponsible politics to divert attention from the massive criticism
of the unbridled violence, killing and destruction of property during
the PDP primaries by well-meaning Rivers people and Nigerians.”
“It would have been far more important if Gov. Wike had preached peaceful primaries to his party men and women.
“It would have been quite needful if the governor walked the talk by
not planting the seed of imposition, discord and deceit in his party
which eventually led to the kind of unprecedented violence that marred
their primaries. That surely would have been a more practical means of
preaching peaceful congresses.
“The APC believed that Gov. Wike is jittery that at the end of its
congresses, peace-loving Rivers people will have the opportunity to
compare the activities of PDP and APC.
“The governor fears that Rivers people will so easily confirm that
PDP members as those responsible for the political violence in Rivers
State against the peaceful disposition of the APC. It is this fear that
has propelled Gov. Wike to embark on offering his tainted advice. We say
to him, ‘Physician, heal thyself.’
