The "Rivers government Amnesty program", is an evil and
criminal conspiracy, between the principal actors of the "Rivers political
violence/killings" and governor Nyesom Wike. The actual motive, is to
shield and protect all those that were used to orchestrate the bloodiest
ascension to the seat of power, ever witnessed in the entire political history
of Rivers State.
Those targeted and captured by the so-called "Rivers
amnesty", are persons already declared wanted by the Nigerian
police/military authorities. They are criminal culprits, directly connected and
implicated in several reported politically motivated murder cases, assassinations
and arsons of very high degrees.
You will recollect that, in the lawsuit filled by Wike, against the
relocation of the Rivers election tribunal from Port-Harcourt to Abuja,
"Wike/PDP VS DAKUKU/APC", the learned Justices of the Supreme Court,
did emphatically state and clearly held in her judgement that, "Rivers
State was like a theater of war in the periods before, during and after the
2015 general elections and that the life of judiciary workers cannot be put at
risk, hence it was right and lawful to have relocated the Rivers Election
Tribunals to Abuja".
That judgement, was a perfect summarization and reflection of what
truly transpired in Rivers State. It then simply means that, no meaningful
election would've held in a place where the Supreme Court, by their judgement,
confirmed that "human life was not safe", but at perpetual risk. It
is on record that well over one-hundred(100) persons or more, may have died,
with several hundreds of others injured and properties worth millions of Naira,
destroyed within the said period in Rivers state.
The worst case scenario in this regard, is a situation where the
so-called amnesty beneficiaries are still killing, kidnapping and attacking
those they perceive as enemies to the incumbent governor, while the
police/security agents remains aloof.
Recently, Wike's amnesty beneficiaries and intending beneficiaries
alike, assassinated Barr, Kenneth Atsuete, the famous Rivers APC's foremost
lawyer and Hon. Boris Neewi, an APC stalwart.
The "Rivers amnesty committee", has on several occasions
lamented her frustration and expressed doubts/disappointment, stating
publicly that the types of arms and ammunitions been
submitted/surrendered by these dreaded killers, armed robbers, cultists and
kidnappers, as they show-up to accept the 'rogue amnesty', is not commensurate
to the type of sophisticated weaponry, they have been using to wreck havoc on
Rivers people.
The boys in their large numbers, come out from their hideouts(camps)
with a few locally made guns and cutlasses, after they have properly concealed
their sophisticated weapons. They deceptively appear in public to accept the
said amnesty, which instantly earns them Wike's "state pardon", and
automatically shields them from the law, which by extension protects them from
any form of arrest or prosecution by law enforcement agents, no matter the
crime they may have committed.
Apparently, the security agents, before now, acting upon series of
complains and petitions, had swung into action, thereby successfully catching
up with and closing-in on many of the big actors/perpetrators of the Rivers
political killings/violence, with many
of the kingpins already "declared wanted", such as Igwe Dibia Ejima
aka "Don Wani" and Solomon Ndebgara aka "Bin-Ladin". Then,
the only way-out for them, becomes the 'rogue amnesty', after they have been
investigated and found liable for the killing of many innocent souls, to the
benefit of Nyesom Wike.
Therefore, it must be known to all, that governor Wike purposely
designed and programmed the 'Rivers amnesty' for cultist, kidnappers, armed
robbers, many of whom had already been investigated and found to be directly
linked to series of crimes for which the police/military has declared them
wanted, thereby shield these confirmed criminals from the eyes of the law and
law enforcement authorities.
As such, "Rivers amnesty" as put in place by governor Wike,
is simply a deceit and a criminal conspiracy between the governor and those he
used to violently climb unto the seat of power.
It is common knowledge that Nyesom Wike violently & forcefully
became governorship flag-bearer of our party(PDP). He worked in concert with
Mrs Patience Jonathan and Bro. Felix Obuah to snatch a gubernatorial ticket
that was zoned/meant for the Rivers "Riverine people". They empowered
and deployed numerous cult groups,
activated all reachable criminals and militants to intimidate and bully the
then National leadership of our party and also bullied on the entire members of
Rivers PDP, an action in clear disregard to the opinion and desire of our
leader, H.E. Ebele Jonathan.
Our party members(gubernatorial aspirants), who attempted to protest or
resist Wike at any point in time, were brazenly beaten-up, brutalized and
secretly threatened to submission.
In connivance with compromised security agencies and the then Rivers
REC(Gesila Khan), who is now facing criminal charges for bribery/corruption
connected to electoral fraud in Rivers state. Election results were
fabricated/concocted in favor of Wike/PDP in Rivers State, while a
conglomeration of cult groups, militants & dreaded criminal gangs were
adequately activated and mobilized to unleash terror on anyone or group that
attempted to challenge what was going on.
However, as expected, after the elections, the cult groups and criminal
gangs became emboldened in their nefarious acts, which culminated to the
heightened insecurity that has engulfed Rivers state till date. Upon assumption
of office, all attempts by Wike(Rivers PDP) to secretly disarm these groups and
characters he used to orchestrate the worst political violence in the entire
history of Rivers State, couldn't materialize. Not even the juicy political
positions and contracts he gave to the kingpins of these criminals and gangs,
could change a thing. Amnesty(state pardon) to the criminals, became the
option, since he doesn't posses the will power to fight them, simply because
they are his associates and loyalist.
If the President Buhari led federal government continue to look the
other way, and Wike is allowed to succeed completely with this ongoing evil
plot, Rivers state will continue to remain under siege by state government
created/sponsored cult gangs and militant groups as it is now. While the same
scenario that played out in 2014/2015 in Rivers state will definitely repeat
again by 2018/2019 elections, and might even take a worst dimension, more than
what we had in the past, because if the feelers we are getting, that the Rivers
APC is now planning to adopt/execute the same violent approach Wike used and
still using, then Rivers State will become a bloody battle ground by the next
elections.
It is worthy to note that, If not for the vigilance of Governor Adams
Oshomole, Wike almost succeeded in exporting his model of electoral violence to
Edo State during their recently held gubernatorial election, Just like he did
during the Bayelsa election.
I wonder why this would be happening, irrespective of the fact that the
incumbent president, on assumption of office, acknowledged the political
killings and violences that enveloped Rivers state, which he promised to look
into and bring the perpetrators to book.
On the other hand, going by the manner, in which the president Buhari
led federal government tackled and fought the BokoHaram, IPOB and NDA security
menaces, one begins to wonder why the Rivers state case of political insurgence
would be treated differently!!
Why didn't President Buhari give amnesty to BokoHaram, IPOB & NDA
terrorists/militants, as seen in Rivers state?
I use this medium to remind and call on President Muhamadu Buhari to
live up to his promise regards 'Rivers political violence'. I also beckon on
the DSS, Police and the military to urgently rise up to the occasion in Rivers
State and checkmate this evil design called "Rivers amnesty program", by desperate governor
Wike, whose violent tactics is common knowledge to all and sundry.
