Wike raises alarm on weapon plant plans

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State Governor has alleged that the APC-Federal Government has concluded plans to plant 800 guns in his state, with the sole aim of destabilizing Rivers State.

Simeon Nwakaudu, Wike’s Special Assistant on Electronic Media, quoted Governor Wike as saying that, “The APC Federal Government resolved to implement the plot during her last security meeting.”

He stated that the information came from credible sources that were privy to the ugly plot against Rivers State.

The governor called on the international community to take note of the alleged illegal action of the APC Federal Government, which he said was aimed at creating crisis in the state.

He expressed regret that the APC Federal Government has continued to work deliberately to compromise the security of Rivers State.

The governor urged the people of the state to remain calm and vigilant, adding that “the evil machinations of the APC Federal Government will not distract the state from delivering on her constitutional responsibilities to Rivers people.”
