Attack On PDP: Group Asks Buhari To Call Wike To Order
The Rivers Renaissance Vanguard, RRV, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, to order over his unbridled quest to provoke anarchy and breakdown of democratic tenets in the state.
The call comes after the latest onslaught by the Wike-led government wherein the PDP presidential campaign zonal office in Port Harcourt was sealed over flimsy excuses.
On Thursday, the Rivers Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning sealed the office located in the GRA axis of Port Harcourt. The government claimed it sealed the office for engaging in “noisy activities” that disturbing the environment.
But the RRV, in a statement by the spokesperson Briggs Tonye, said the government’s action was just another expression of Wike’s intolerance for political choices. The group recalled that the governor has been clamping down on PDP faithful who have refused to follow his wild goose chase of opposing his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Briggs warned that while PDP members are at liberty to settle their internal wranglings, Rivers should not be returned to the dark days of political bloodshed.
The group cautioned Wike against using state power to crush his opposition as people might resort to self-help in the face of frustration. The group further called on elder statesmen, leaders of thought, and the security forces to rein Wike in.
