The 23 All Progressives Congress, APC, local
government chairmen in Rivers State have
accused Governor Nyesom Wike of starving them
of funds.They made the allegation when they
met with the APC National Chairman, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, in Abuja yesterday.
The chairmen were at the APC national
secretariat alleged cases of human rights
violations, unpaid salaries and monthly
allocations to the state civil servants and
intimidation to their persons by Governor Wike.
Meanwhile, Odigie-Oyegun assured the
grassroots leaders that APC followed due
process, adding that the party would not “allow
the blood of the innocent to be shed for political
reasons.
“I want to give you that things have changed in
this country, and those who are still testing our
resolve will discover sooner than later that they
are absolutely on the wrong track. The fact that
we are a party of law, a party of order, a party of
due process, does not mean that we will allow
impunity to continue.
“We will not allow the blood of innocent ones to
be shed on the platform of politics or for political
reasons. If the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
Rivers State does not recognise that change has
come to this nation, then they will be doing so at
their own peril because there will be
consequences,” he said.
