TVC E, POLITICS – The All Progressive Congress (APC) flag bearer in the Rivers state governorship election, Dakuku Peterside, has blamed Governor Nyesom Wike for the increase in the outbreak of violence in the state.

In a statement released to newsmen, Peterside accused Wike of arming cult groups.

The APC flag bearer said, “It is regrettable but true that in many communities in Rivers State today cult gangs hold sway. They control the social and economic souls of the people, including traditional structures which have been rendered impotent.

“The cult gangs were armed by politicians in the build up to 2015 general elections. Like Frankenstein monsters, they are now too powerful to those who armed them and had enjoyed pyrrhic benefits from their activities.”

Peterside also accused the Wike led administration of not doing anything to stop the shed of innocent blood.

He said “The situation has so degenerated that nobody, including those who created the monsters, feels safe anymore. The physical landscape of Rivers State communities is painted with boys armed to the teeth and walking about freely to the discomfort of citizens.”

Adding that “We are yet to feel the effect of any concrete action taken by Nyesom Wike- led Rivers State Government to stem this worsening insecurity. A town hall meeting which he held in Omoku on the urging of Rt. Hon. Andrew Uchendu degenerated into a display of power by way of suspending three Local Government Caretaker Committee chairmen and a strange order to security agents to kill suspected cultists.”

Peterside also said his fear is that the cultists may take advantage of the March 19, 2016 legislative re-run elections to cause more mayhem.
