Insecurity: RSG Indicts APC

by admin0884

The Rivers state government has alleged that the security challenges rocking Rivers state currently was artificial and instigated by the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
The state government said it was aware of the ongoing moves by the said opposition to ensure that Rivers state was ungovernable so that the effort of the Governor Nyesom Wike administration to realize economic prosperity and infrastructural transformation for Rivers people was not achieved.
“From both the secret and open activities and actions of the APC, it is obvious that it is seriously frustrated by the great success story of the Wike led government and so is working frantically hard to ensure that the state is blackmailed as not being conducive enough, so as to scare away investors, but this will remain an effort in futility”, Wike said in a statement signed by his media aide, Opunabo Inkoh Tariah.
“Contrary to the running propaganda and falsehood by the said opposition, it is INDEED the APC that is sponsoring this crisis so they can create an occasion to wrongly accuse the government. This is most unfortunate and sad but again it only portrays them as having nothing to offer other than to keep circulating lies and falsely accuse government just so they could create topics for themselves so as to incite their miscreant loyalists to continually cause unrest and artificial tension in the state”.
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP says claim by Mr. Dakuku Peterside of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) that some of its members and leaders were planning to decamp to the APC were lies.
The State Chairman of the PDP, Felix Obuah on Tuesday expressed optimism while reacting to comments credited to Peterside that some members of the PDP were planning to decamp to the APC in the next few months.
Obuah in a press statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam revealed that in less than 100 days in 0ffice of the State Governor, His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike, over 3000 members of the APC, including those recruited to manage APC media propaganda structure have all decamped to PDP.

Allow Me To work, Jonathan Tells Opposition, PDP President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has told opposition members and members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP splinter group to allow him concentrate and work for the people of Nigeria. He noted that the current political impasse are deliberately orchestrated to distract the administration’s ongoing transformation agenda in the critical sectors of the economy. President Jonathan also gave a veiled insight into his second term ambition stressing that the Nigerian Constitution provides a two term of eight years only for anyone elected as president. Nigerian Constitution Mandates Me To Run For Two Terms Says President Jonathan. Speaking at a lunch with Nigerian Professionals in New York, United States (US), Mr. Jonathan urged those fanning the ember of disintegration in the country to refrain from doing so as the interests of Nigeria is greater than that of any individual. According to him “already we have a constitution that makes provision for maximum of eight years for anyone who wants to become a president or a governor. There is no president or governor that all citizens vote for but at the end of the election if somebody emerges you must allow the person to work. If you love your country you would want your country to work. That does not mean that you will not vote against the person if you don’t like the way he works but you must allow him to work”. Mr. Jonathan urged the political class in the country to drop the do or die approach to politics urging them to allow him concentrate on his core mandate of governance. In an apparent reference to the political crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the tantrum been thrown around by the opposition parties in the country, the president said political leaders in the country must be mindful of what they say or do in order not to undermine the sovereignty of Nigeria. According to Mr.Jonathan “we appeal to our colleagues politicians that no matter how you feel about the political situation consider the interest of your country first before yourself”. He added “if you are struggling to enter a house you must not put dynamite to destroy the house. By the time you get there there will be no house for you to stay. So first and foremost we must collectively build our country. Don’t bother about who is there now because power is transient, very very temporary”. On whether his administration was doing enough to tackle the issue of corruption in Nigeria, the president said “so many people are saying we are not doing well in fighting corruption and before you say that, there must be a parameter for judging us. What are the yardsticks they are using to judge us?” Justifying the efforts of his government in addressing the problem of corruption Mr. Jonathan said before the advent of his government, the Federal Government was spending a whopping N25 billion on fertiliser with only a 11 percent reach to the farmers stressing that since the coming on board of his administration, “government now spends between N5-6 Billion on fertiliser and we are getting 80 per cent reach. If we wanted to continue to steal money or look for money for election, we could have continued”. In the area of privatisation of power sector, he said the government conducted the over $3 billion exercise in the most transparent manner. “Yes we have not yet reached where we want to reach but we are making progress,” he said. Mr. Jonathan told the august gathering that his administration has made significant progress in the area revival of rail transportation, aviation, road construction and other infrastructure. “The team that I am working with we are doing our best to make sure that our country works”.
