The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and the South-South Zonal Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have attacked the All Progressives Congress-led, APC, Federal Government, for its inability to resolve the rising security challenges in the country, .
Governor Wike called on all patriotic Nigerians to rescue the country from disintegration, insisting that the ruling APC “does not care if dead bodies litter everywhere”.
The Governor spoke when he hosted members of the South-South Zonal Working Committee of the PDP, at the Government House, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Thursday.
He stated that it has become obvious that the Federal Government lacks feelings about the people, and never cared about the rising deaths in the country.
His exact words: “APC Governors have come out to say the present APC Federal Government will solve the security problems. But everyday people are dying. When will they solve the problems?
“Own up and say to Nigerians, we have failed on the promises that we made to you. And honourably say, as it is done in other advanced countries, that since we cannot perform and carry out the covenant we have with Nigerians, we have decided to quit.
“Every reasonable Nigerian, every nationalist who believe in this country, should come up and make sure this country moves forward, if not it is going to affect everybody.”
Governor Wike noted that since there is no honour among Public Office holders, the Federal Government would not own up to its failures in handling issues of insecurity.
He enjoined Nigerians to also brace up and use their voters cards to remove the APC at the appropriate time.
He added: “If Nigeria is a nation where honour and integrity are valued, the present APC-led Federal Government which does not care even if dead bodies are littering on all the roads in the country, will honourably quit power.”
