Following the fire which gutted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s office on Friday, The All Progressive Congress, APC has urged security agencies to investigate the state Governor, Nyesome Wike.
The claim by the APC is contained in a statement issued by the State APC Chairman, Chief Davies Ikanya on Saturday in Port Harcourt.
The APC in the statement alleged that the arson was carried out by hoodlums suspected to be members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The statement further referred to a threat issued by the state Governor to INEC, its Chairman, Ikanya and Sen. Magnus Abe on Thursday.
The statement further reads: “This is typical of the saying that the witch cried last night and today, the child dies. Wike has, as usual, carried out his earlier threat to visit us with fire.
“We now know better what he meant. His boys burnt INEC office in Bori just because Bori is the senatorial headquarters of Rivers South-East where Sen. Magnus Abe hails from”.
The statement further claimed that the state governor was encouraging vices such as killings, maiming and destruction of lives and properties.
“We warned that whenever Wike resorts to throwing mud at innocent people and making unwholesome accusations, he must be up to his familiar sinister games; today, it has manifested in its fullness.
“Security agents should ignore his attempts to blame this heinous act on the APC or anyone else; it was obviously planned by Wike and clinically executed by his foot soldiers”.
