The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party and its governorship candidate, Barr Nyesom Wike have denied involvement in the shooting at the campaign ground of the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress in Okrika, describing it as part of the ground design of Governor Rotimi Amaechi to destabilize Nigeria.
The Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State, Bro Felix Obuah in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Jerry Needam stated this while reacting to allegations by Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Dakuku Peterside and the APC, that the PDP had a hand in the incident.
Amaechi has lost every sense of decency and decorum and is behaving like a drowning man.
“How will Amaechi associate the first Lady, Her Excellency Dame Patience Jonathan who is currently mourning the death of Bayelsa women who lost their lives in a motor accident with the shooting at Okrika. It shows the degree of hate Amaechi has for the First family. The First Lady is currently going about consoling the bereaved families, and cannot be part of violence. She deserves sympathy at this sad moment” PDP said.
The PDP describes Barr Wike as an advocate of peace, non violent and God fearing, saying as a God-fearing man, he cannot be part of violence.
Barr Wike was at the time of the incident campaigning to market women in Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt Local Government Area and Eleme, in Eleme Local Government Area and has no time to contemplate instigating violence.
The PDP therefore dissociates the party, Her Excellency, the First Lady, Dame Dr Patience Jonathan and tue Rivers PDP Governorship candidate, Barr Nyesom Wike from the crisis in Okrika, advising the APC to settle their internal crisis and leave them alone.
