The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, has described as most sacrilegious, the
attempt by security operatives of the Department of
State Services (DSS) and policemen to shoot the State
Governor, Chief Barr Nyesom Wike for intervening in
the illegal move to abduct a Federal High Court judge
serving in the State in the early hours of Saturday,
October 8, 2016.
A statement by the State chairman of the Party, Bro
Felix Obuah and signed by his Special Adviser on Media
and Publicity, Jerry Needam said the unruly behavior of
the overzealous security operatives is the worst of its
kind in the history of Nigeria and is a cause for concern.
Though the target is to find reason to declare a state of
emergency in the State, Bro Obuah noted, the
President, the National Assembly members, Judicial
Officers, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and all
relevant authorities and stakeholders should be put on
notice on these acts of recklessness against Rivers
State as injury to one is injury to all.
There is no doubt that the Rivers State experience is
exceptional and the democratic abuse bysecurity
agencies and their political paymasters is aimed at
testing the mindset of the people and if left to stand will
definitely go round and translate into a national malaise,
the State PDP chairman lamented.
According to him it’s unheard of anywhere in the world
where legally constituted authorities like the DSS and
the Police will break into the residence of a legitimate
federal judicial officer of the status of a judge for the
purpose of arrest in the wee hours of the day,
citingorder from above as their reason.
“This is an act of brigandage and roguery, worse still
when a serving governor intervened, same security
agents cocked their guns against the State Chief
Executive/Security Officer in the presence of the State
Police Commissioner and Director of DSS. This, though
real is most unbelievable”.
The State PDP chairman however appealed to Rivers
people to remain calm in the face of the unprovoked
attack and siege being perpetuated by those opposed to
peace in the State so that they can have their way and
continue with their exploitation underdevelopment of
Rivers State.
“We are happy and grateful God is on our side. Each
time they come up with a new strategy to cause mayhem
they end up hitting the air because even the gods of the
land abhor their intentions.
Nonetheless, this particular sacrilege of attempting to
shoot our Governor will never be taken kindly,” Bro
Obuah said.
