Rivers State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike, has finally defended himself on why he intervened in the midnight raid on the house of a judge.
He said was not geared towards stopping the Department of State Services, DSS, from arresting the judge, but to ensure that the right process was followed.
He said: “We have a sad situation where everything is being done at the federal level to kill the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. However, in the end, it is their own political party that will die.”
He declared that the Federal Government was working relentlessly to kill the PDP.
He noted that nobody would be allowed to steal the mandate of Rivers people, no matter the deployment of security agencies.
“They are repeatedly shifting the date of the re-run election, so that they can have a convenient time to rig. Nobody should be scared of their plan to use DSS and police to rig the re-run election.
“The policeman that is carrying gun, how many people can he kill? In Turkey where they resisted the Army, are they not human beings ? Nobody will circumvent the mandate of Rivers people,” Governor Wike said.
