Gov.
Wike financed the 'failed suspension’ of Omoyele Sowore - Engr. Biokpomabo
…..alleges sinister attempt by Gov. Wike to scuttle AAC efforts to
reclaim its mandate
The Rivers State Chapter of Africa Action Congress says its
attention has been drawn to a sinister attempt by the Rivers State Governor
Nyesom Wike to scuttle the party’s efforts to reclaim its mandate at the Rivers
State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, adding that the recent move by Mr.
Wike, is seen in the action of one Mr. Leonard Nzenwa who claims to be the acting
National Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC)..
The party in a statement signed by Engr. Biokpomabo Festus
Awara AAC Governorship Candidate alleged that “Mr. Nzenwa, having received an
undisclosed sum of Rivers money, is acting a script given to him by forcing the
lawyer representing us at the Election Petition Tribunal, Tawo E. Tawo (SAN) to
withdraw from representing us and imposing one of the known cronies of the
Rivers State governor to take over the case.”
Continuing he said, “We
have it on a good authority that Gov. Wike single handedly financed the 'failed
suspension' of our National Chairman Omoyele Sowore and in a bid to buy
more members of the party, he(Wike) has also reached out to the National Legal Adviser of our party
Barr. Inibehe Effiong who declined to
accept the bribe offered him by the governor.
“To this end, we are calling on Mr Nyesom Wike to channel the resources
he is expending on bribing everyone just to scuttle our victory at the Tribunal
to other meaningful ventures like addressing the infrastructural deficit in the
state and problems of insecurity rather than wasting our resources on bribery.
“We therefore call on Rivers People to remain calm as we continue with
our case at the Tribunal.”
