Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, addressed a state broadcast
yesterday night where he alleged that governors of Bauchi, Benue, Kano and
Plateau States reportedly bankrolled donated one billion Naira each to fund the
violence that characterized last Saturday's Legislative rerun election in the
state.
"The brazen subversion of our democratic rights that took place on
December 2016, was carefully planned and orchestrated by some highly-placed and
desperate politicians from the State in concert with the Governors of Bauchi,
Benue, Kano and Plateau States, who reportedly bankrolled the plan with the sum
of one billion Naira each, at a time they cannot pay salaries of civil
servants, let alone embark on development projects in their States. If Rivers
people could be visited with such a despicably high degree of violence, mayhem
and killings by some renegade military and SARS operatives with impunity just
to rescue the dying political fortunes of the All Peoples Congress in a mere
legislative re-run elections, then we can now begin to imagine what is likely
to happen in the State when the political stakes would be very much higher in
2019"he said
