How Security Agencies Tried To Assassinate Me–Governor Wike Reveals

Governor Nyesom Wike Rivers state has alleged that a plot by security agencies to assassinate him during the December 10, 2016, Rivers election was frustrated by six policemen attached to him.

Wike accused the police high command of dismissing the six policemen because they refused to allow the security agencies execute their evil plot of ending his life, Sun reports.

 

The governor made the accusation on Tuesday, January 24, at the government house in Port Harcourt, when the Aluu council of chiefs paid him a visit.

 

He said: “The policemen were dismissed because they did not allow the security agencies to assassinate me as was planned.

 

“The security agencies planned to assassinate me, but those attached to me resisted the plot and refused to allow them kill me. That is why they are angry and desperate.”

 

Wike said he would never plead with the security agencies to stop their illegal activities, but noted that he would continue to defend the interest of the state.

 

The governor said the invasion of Rivers state by the security agencies during the last rerun elections was enough reason for the people in the state to be prepared for the rigging of elections in 2019 by the same security agencies.

 

“The security agencies, by their actions on December 10, 2016 rerun elections, alerted us on how they plan to rig the 2019 elections. We are now prepared for them,” Wike said.

The governor also commended the Aluu community for cooperating with the government to tackle cultism in the area.

He said the peaceful nature of the area had led to improved execution of projects for the people and reiterated his stance develop different communities in line with the pledge to the people.

Wike criticised the immediate past All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in the state for allegedly failing to develop communities adjoining Port Harcourt.

He said it was unfortunate that the administration failed to deliver despite the funds available to it.
