Gov Wike slams APC over failure to protect life in Plateau

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State visiting former Governor Jonah Jang in Jos, slammed the All Progressives Congress (APC) government over failure to protect lives and property in Plateau State. Governor Wike in a media interaction at the Plateau State High Court in Jos, after the court sitting on the trial of former Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State  over N6.3 billion alleged fraud, decried that the APC administration in Plateau State has failed to tackle the security crisis in the state, saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is prepared to take over in 2023.

The Rivers State Governor insisted that it is obvious that the APC and the Federal Government have failed to bring to an end the needless killings in Plateau and other parts of the country. “It is not about the Muslims; it is not about Christians; it is not about the North; it is not about the South; the killings, the insecurity, the hardship, the poverty is everywhere.

“Look at what is happening in Plateau State. “Look at how innocent people are being killed daily and it also applies in other states. “Christians are dying here, Muslims are dying there.

“Plateau State is ripe for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to take over because APC has performed woefully as far as Nigeria and this state is concerned. I stand to be challenged by anybody.”

Governor Wike emphasized that he has not told anyone that he is contesting for the president; noting that it is important that the PDP remains united.

“Every individual has to focus on how the party will be united to salvage the country and to salvage Plateau State too from APC,” Wike stated. He disclosed that he was in Plateau State to reconcile Jeremiah Useni and Jonah Jang.

Acceding to the Rivers Governor: “I think for me, this is one of those things you face after you’ve served your fatherland. As a mark of solidarity, I’m here to give him courage, to reassure him that we are behind him. We will do all we can within the ambit of the law to give him the support.”
