Ojukaye’s
Release: Triumph of Light over Evil - Dakuku
Peterside
The Rivers
State governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2015
general elections, Dr. Dakuku Peterside has described the bail granted Hon
Ojukaye Flag-Amachree by the Court of Appeal on all counts as the “triumph of
light over evil and end of wickedness from Rivers State Government House.”
He
stressed that the judiciary has once again risen to its bastion as the last
hope of the oppressed and those unjustly persecuted by power mongers.
Hon.
Ojukaye Flag Amachree, an APC chieftain in Rivers State was arrested and sent
to prison on concocted charges by the Rivers State Government and all reasonable
attempts to get the state High Court grant him bail fell on deaf ears.
Along the
line, one of the lawyers defending him in court, Barr. Ken Atsuwete, was
murdered in controversial circumstances, just as the Rivers State Government
filed fresh murder charges against Amachree, in an attempt to keep him
perpetually in prison.
However,
Dr. Dakuku Peterside says the evil plans of the Nyesom Wike-led administration
in the state will never endure as “time and time again, it will fall like pack
of cards as you cannot build something on nothing.”
“This is a
great day for Rivers people. This is a pointer to the end of recklessness,
arbitrariness, impunity and wickedness on the part of a governor who rose to
power through violence.
“The
Appeal Court has once again reaffirmed our belief in the judiciary. No matter
how long a lie has travelled, it takes just one day for truth to catch up with
it. Today, the truth has dawned on evil and wickedness.
“All
along, we have always maintained the innocence of Ojukaye Flag Amachree. Even
the police have come out to say they do not have evidence against him. So you
wonder why the desperation of Wike and his cohorts? Why the desperation to
incarcerate Ojukaye? He stated.
Peterside,
who is also the Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety
Agency (NIMASA), berated Governor Nyesom Wike for alleging that INEC has handed
over the original result sheets of December 10 re-run election in the
state to Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi.
According
to him, “Wike is just being mischievous and desperate. At every election, he is
the one accusing everybody of plans to rig election. Sometimes, he forgets that
he is the governor of the state and his statements are embarrassing to the
office he occupies.
“Wike
should stop crying and face the election. I have always said it and I will
still maintain my stand - the APC will win any free and fair election in Rivers
State. We have responsible and decent candidates that can win election at
anytime.
“Why is
Wike always afraid of every election? If he is not threatening INEC officials,
he is accusing security agencies of compromise. He is the same person that will
set phantom Commission of Inquiry to arrive at a predetermined outcome. What
manner of a governor is Wike? For how long will he continue to fool Rivers
people?” Dr. Peterside queried.
