2019 Elections: FG Plans To Intimidate 200 More Judges -Wike Alerts …Decries APC’s Destruction Of Nation’s Education Sector …As Akuku-Toru Backs Gov’s Re-Election
Rivers State Governor,Chief NyesomWike, alleged yesterday that the APC-led Federal Government may soon begin what he calls “the intimidation” of 200 judges, especially those in the federal judiciary.
He said such judges are those that the Federal Government has deemed “uncooperative.”
Wike said that strategic and credible intelligence intercepted by him revealed that a federal minister told a gathering that, following the “destabilisation of the Supreme Court,” the next target would be the Court of Appeal and Federal High Court.
The governor, who spoke during the central healing service of the Greater Evangelism World Crusade in Port Harcourt, alleged that the APC Federal Government had collected the assets declaration forms of 200 judges from the Code of Conduct Bureau for the “planned mass onslaught.”
“I intercepted a discussion by a minister of the Federal Executive Council where he was telling a gathering that they were happy that they had dealt with the Supreme Court.
“The minister said that the next set would be the Court of Appeal judges and the Federal High Court judges.
“The minister said any judge that fails to cooperate will face trumped-up charges and be compelled to resign.
“This APC Federal Government has gone to the Code of Conduct Bureau to get the asset declaration forms of 200 judges.
“Any judge that fails to follow their evil plot will be harassed with false allegations and persecution,” Wike said.
He stated that the Federal Government would generate several false allegations “to compel upright judges to resign from the Bench.”
Wike called on the Church to pray for the federal judiciary to survive the siege, describing it as “deadly.”
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared the failed All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government has destroyed the nation’s educational foundation by refusing to invest in the future of Nigerians.
He said that it was embarrassing that universities and polytechnics were closed, but the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was unconcerned, and has done nothing to address the challenges faced by the institutions.
Speaking during the PDP Campaign Rally at Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, last Friday in Abonnema, Wike urged Nigerians to vote Atiku Abubakar, who understands the relevance of education to national development.
“Buhari government hates education. That is why universities and polytechnics are closed and there is no serious engagement with the unions.
“This failed administration refused to build on the successes of the PDP administration in the education sector. They went ahead to destroy all the successful works for stability in the education sector.
“Nigerians should vote Atiku Abubakar because he has shown commitment to education. He understands the importance of education”, he said.
The governor said that PDP will address all the failures and challenges imposed on the country by the APC Federal Government.
Wike said that he is linked to Akuku-Toru by political association because most of the people who supported his first term bid are from the area.
He assured the people of more projects during his second term, and noted that he will complete the Abonnema Ring Road and other key projects.
The governor praised the member representing Akuku-Toru State Constituency 1, Engineer Major Jack for executing quality constituency projects in the area.
Wike walked through the streets of Abonnema town, appreciating cheers from the people as they sang his praises.
International Musician, Flavour thrilled the crowd with his songs and some Pro-Wike music.
The Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah presented the PDP Candidate for Rivers West Senatorial District, Mrs Betty Apiafi, PDP Candidate for Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency, Hon Boma Goodhead, PDP Candidate for Akuku-Toru State Constituency 1, Engr Major Jack and Mr Lolo Isaiah Opuende of PDP Candidate for Akuku-Toru State Constituency 2 to the people for their support.
Obuah expressed happiness that the people of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area were solidly behind Wike, adding that the people have shown their undying love for the Rivers State governor as a brother.
PDP Candidate for Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency, Boma Goodhead said PDP will win all the positions in the forthcoming elections.
Constituency, Boma Goodhead, PDP Candidate for Akuku-Toru State Constituency 1, Engr Major Jack said all the projects he nominated were completed, and assured the Rivers State governor that the people will deliver all the PDP candidates.
Former Minister of Sports, Dr Tammy Danagogo said Wike was a lover of the people of Kalabari people, working for them.
He said that Akuku-Toru people will demonstrate their love for Wike through massive votes during the forthcoming general elections.
Danagogo noted that Buhari is a curse to the People of Rivers State, saying that the APC-led Federal Government has closed down the seaports in all parts of the state.
The Commissioner of Culture and Tourism, Mrs Tonye Oniyide Briggs said that people of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area will not be deceived by fake stories as the people will remain with the Rivers State governor all through the elections.
Former Commissioner of Works, Chief David Briggs said that Akuku-Toru people were totally for the re-election of Wike and the election of Atiku Abubakar as president.
