RIVERS State governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Peoples Democratic Party to assassinate the governorship candidate of the Rivers All Progressives Congress, Dr. Dakuku Peterside.

Amaechi, who spoke with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday, also said that he had lost confidence in the Nigerian Police, alleging that the police was working in favour of the PDP.

The governor specifically said that the 2015 election in the state was between the APC and the police, adding that the state police command had arrested some of his party and threatening to arrest over 400 more .

He alleged that the police withdrew their operatives attached to some of the APC while allowing those attached to PDP candidates and to remain intact.

He said, “You will recall that on February 17, 2015, there was an attempt on the life of the APC governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, when he went for a campaign rally in Okrika.

“From reliable intelligence available to the APC, it is believed by the PDP that assassinating Dr. Dakuku Peterside is the last resort and only way of stopping the victory of the APC in the forthcoming elections based on the popularity and acceptability of the APC candidate amongst Rivers voters.

“The fears of the campaign organisation are however heightened by the recent act of withdrawal of police security from top APC chieftains in the state, including (incredulously) that of her gubernatorial candidate, Dakuku Adol Peterside.

“This fear is fuelled by the unanswered question as to whether this withdrawal of security personnel is linked to the aforesaid story of plans to assassinate Dr. Peterside.

“Those hired for this assassination attempt are still roaming free in Port Harcourt, housed and catered for by Barrister Nyesom Wike, the PDP governorship candidate in Iwaikwowo Hotel, off Oroekpo Road, owned by one Promise Onuoha, Nyesom Wike’s cousin.

“Unfortunately the Nigeria Police Force in Rivers State has lend to a great escalation of these acts of killings, unlawful arrests and detention on frivolous and unsubstantiated reasons as well as constant and un-abating harassment using the very same police meant to protect all sides.

“Specifically D John Amadi, DC Operations and Promise Nwosu, head of SARS are in the forefront of this.”

He described as “most ridiculous” the withdrawal of police security for top APC , including that of Peterside.

“Where then we may ask lies our hope and the hope of the common man and all seekers of justice and protection if the police in Rivers State can so blatantly and unashamedly take sides in the politics of the state?” the governor asked.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, declined comment on those arrested by the police, saying however that they had since been charged to court on a one-count charge of unlawful possession of arms.

Mohammad explained that since the matter was already in court, it would amount to contempt of court for him to speak on it.

“The people he (Amaechi) is talking about have already been arraigned before the Federal High Court 1, Port Harcourt, for a count charge of unlawful possession of firearms and it would amount to contempt of court for me to speak on a matter before a court of law,” he said.

On Amaechi’s allegation that more APC were facing threat of arrest, Mohammad said, “The command views the statement that over 400 suspects are in our custody as exaggeration. This is not true.”

Huh!!



*Modified*
Another Political lie and trick employ by PDPISS to tarnish a good man image!!


PDPISS so desperate since 90BC!! Rubbish!!

PDP is a nest of killers - Prof. Wole Soyinka

With the tout Wike who is even more thuggish and brutish than GEJ; and putting into perspective what GEJ/PDP's presidency is doing to retain power at all cost, I cannot take this allegation past them.

Politicians can do anything to prove a point, Ameachi is more interested in being in Buhari"s cabinet than winning the governorship seat for Dakuku Peterside. My advise to Peterside is watch your back, your man Ameachi might kill you to paint PDP, PEJ and Wike in bad light.

AMAECHI IS JUST DESTROYING RIVERS STATE, HE WILL SURELY REGRET ALL HIS ACTIONS SOON

APC has started again. Just recently it claimed the PDP was planning to assassinate Buhari! These guys are creating more tension in the lane, and it's unfortunate it's the innocent masses that will suffer from it.

On a second thought, I believe the APC are using lies to distract the PDP!

None can point to ONE political murder since GEJ came on board.

They can't succeed

People will start accusing Amaechi of raising unnecessary alarm! LOL!!

How many people here know WIKE??!! Okay, not many! Ask the closest Rivers person to you about Wike's violent history! The main reason Rivers people will NOT vote Wike is because he is a THUG!! And because of Dame!

So you think the same people that disrupted the okrika rally many times with guns are incapable of what Amaechi says? okay. I hear you

this Ameachi man is just a disgrace to all Rivers people

Amaechi=frustration.

This man keeps disgracing us with his senseless speeches and comments.Anyway he and his witch craft broom will soon be booted out of Rivers State.

Every APC member at this time should watch his or her back..... the desperation within APC can sacrifice anyone for political points.

Tinubu could assassinate Amaechi
Amaechi can assassinate Peterside
Atiku can take out Buhari
APC can sacrifice Lai Mohd for political points at this critical point

APC is desperate for power, they can do anything.

Its all political gain for APC should any of these happens. PDP is not threatened by any person in APC except the uninformed popularity of Buhari in the north.

Only APC stands to gain from an APC member assassination.

Please is there any Bomb meant for Nigerian politicians alone?






This is wen we need it most





Tired of this set of people

.

So PDP wants to assasinate everyone who s APC abi make i hear word mtchwwww

Ameachi the driver.

Ameachi the whistle blower

Ameachi the man with a leaking mouth.




In as much as I want Dakuku Peterside to win in Rivers State, I think this is uncalled for.

Meanwhile in Rivers state, they cover the face of Buhari on their posters. Are they ashamed of the Buko hari leader?

[size=14pt] Is that all? [/size]

Raised alarm...polithiefians and their comic relief.if they wanted him dead I doubt he would be alive till now.What is wrong with this people.

Nawao..............politics of violence should be condemned by all

GEJ and wike has turned rivers into a warfront. Everyday people are dying in rivers state. The worst is the police. pure daylight assassination by pdp is tagged reprisal attack by cult groups while APC are arrested for doing nothing.

one thing I know for sure is that wicked wike will never rule rivers state.

Amaechi, the Port Harcourt Culprit

This man sef! Did he expect an easy victory for his candidate in Rivers? I've said it before that Amaechi has picked a fight that seems bigger than him. Robert Greene in his famous book-48 laws of power onished people not to fight their superiors because at the end of the day, you may likely lose everything. The firecest election in Nigeria will d presidential election, Lagos and Rivers state gubernatorial elections.
