Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has alleged
that the invasion of the Senate was an official plot by the Federal
Government to overthrow the Senate leadership.
Wike also
accused the federal government of plotting to frame him. He alleged that
the latest plan hatched by the federal government is for someone, programmed by
the security agencies, to claim he received $3 million from the Rivers state
governor.
He spoke
during the 105th annual convention of the Nigerian Baptist Convention at Ndele,
Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers state, yesterday.
“They
plotted to overthrow the leadership of the Senate, but they failed. What you
saw was a horrible design to remove the Senate leadership.
“If you know
the security architecture of the National Assembly, nobody can go in and leave
easily without the gates being shut. These people entered and left
unchallenged.
“When Senate
gave the police a two-hour ultimatum to find the mace, our Nigerian Police
became so efficient that they traced the mace to where it was left under a
bridge,” Wike said.
The governor said it was unfortunate that the
president went abroad to de-market the country by claiming that the youths
are lazy. He said no investor will invest his resources in a country where
the youths are said to lack productive capacity.
Wike called
on Nigerians to work towards a new administration at the federal level in 2019,
and alleged that the collapse of national security, welfare and development are
enough reasons for a change of direction.
“We are not
looking for people who will give us excuses. Since they cannot work, they
should allow those with capacity to take over in 2019,” he said.
