Rivers State Government has alleged that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has perfected plans to discredit Governor Nyesom Wike’s
reputation, as well as his administration, with frivolous and unfounded
allegations.
The state government alleged, yesterday, that the APC intended to
publish reports aimed at misleading Rivers people and Nigerians in
general, that governor Wike has refused to pay the fees of students
studying overseas under the RSSDA scholarship scheme.
The government, in a statement by Wike’s Special Senior Adviser on
Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, alleged that the APC hacked into the
email accounts of some persons with the aim of dragging them into
forming a movement.
“We are also aware that some students have already disassociated
themselves from the APC’s plan of instigating the innocent students
against the state government. Among the students they tried to
impersonate is one Victoria O, who has successfully completed her
programme in Environmental Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development
and had since returned to the state
“It is important at this point to arrest the antics of the APC in the
state from spreading falsehood against a government that has performed
beyond their dreams, imaginations and projections. What the APC in
Rivers state is trying to do is to incite gullible members of the public
against the state government, under the able leadership of governor
Wike, who has done very well in terms of infrastructural development,
security among other achievements.
“Governor Wike took over a state that was absolutely striped of
funds. This was attested to when former Governor Chibuike Amaechi
publicly declared on May 27, 2015 at a public function that: ‘I think
Wike has won, let me see where he will get money to pay salaries and do
projects’.
“Surprisingly, Governor Wike has re-invented the state to a status of
a New Rivers State which has become the envy of even his political
enemies thereby earning him the sobriquet “Mr Project” from no other
person but the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.”
