APC Chieftain Tackles FG On Insecurity

The Publicity Secretary
of the Port Harcourt Chapter of the All Progressive Congress  (APC), Mr Elele Loveday Chukwu, has urged the Federal Government to tackle the security situation in the country, even as he condemned the grounding of the plane chartered by the Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon Chibuike Amaechi.
The party image maker in Port Harcourt noted that due to the insecurity in the nation, politicians and businessmen have fled the country.
According to him, “Jack Green, Mike Obi, Precious Allwell, Success ThankGod and many others like  Omoregbe George are finding it difficult to return to the country because their lives were seriously under threat.’ They were alleged to have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with others for  the APC.
“Some of their friends have been kidnapped while some of their neighbours killed when hoodlums attacked their neighborhood recently,’ he said.
Chukwu  recalled that in March 2014, three members of the  PDP  Hon. Chinyere Igwe, a former member of House of Representatives, Ikechi Chinda and Fine Owhonda were kidnapped at their neigbourhood, adding that a week later, Mr Dickens Worlu was kidnapped at Diobu while a popular radio presenter, Mr Akas Baba was shot and taken away by some armed gunmen.
He said the fear of political assassinations and insecurity has  kept many politicians and businessmen away from the country even as the election was approaching.
He, however, urged politicians to always play the game by strictly abiding by the rules and stop the senseless killings.
He regretted that the security agencies have failed to bring to book those who killed the former state chairman of the All Nigerians Peoples Party (ANPP), Apostle Julius Nwafor; the Rivers State pioneer Chairman of the PDP, Dr Mashall Harry, and former PDP National Vice Chairman, South South, Chief .A.K. Dikibo .
