Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike, has said Nigeria is sliding into anarchy because of the governance
style of the APC-led federal government.
Commissioning
the newly-constructed governor’s office in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State on Friday, Mr
Wike urged Nigerians to use their permanent permanent voters cards ”to vote out
the failed APC Federal Government”.
“Nigeria is
sliding into anarchy. Nigerians were deceived by the change lies. Nigerians
should show that they are tired of this fruitless change,” he said.
The governor
also restated his alarm, which he made some days ago that the Federal
Government was planning to assassinate him. He said the APC Federal Government
has been involved in past plots to kill him.
The presidency
has dismissed Mr Wike’s claim as untrue.
Mr Wike
charged the people of Ekiti to be vigilant ahead of the upcoming governorship
election, saying that they ”will be intimidated by the security agencies”.
He urged the
APC Federal Government to emulate former President Goodluck Jonathan who showed
that the unity of the country is paramount by conducting credible polls.
The event was
attended by Mr Jonathan; Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose; Abia State
Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu; Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Akwa Ibom
State Governor, Udom Emmanuel and PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
“Jonathan
knows what democracy is all about. He never used his power to imprison the opposition.
He never allowed anyone to shed blood for political gains. That is not the case
today,” Mr Wike said.
