Governor Nyesom Wike of River state has been accused of allegedly trying to divert the attention of Nigerians from the leaked audio tape where he purportedly threatened to kill an INEC official for not doing his bidding in the December 10 Rivers re-run election.
A group, the Integrity Youths Alliance (IYA), which made the allegation against Wike on Tuesday, December 20 in Port Harcourt also claimed the governor’s paid agents were already spreading smear campaigns against the transportation minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, all in a bid to divert attention from the leaked tape
The Nation reports that the secretary-general of the IYA, Danjuma Lamido, urged Wike to own up to the threat to kill officials of the INEC.
The group said: “Since an online news platform, Sahara Reporters, exposed Governor Nyesom Wike, he has been looking for ways to divert the attention of Nigerians and the international community from his threat to kill INEC officials.
“We are aware that Governor Wike’s paid agents have taken over the social media to blackmail the Transportation Minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and divert the attention of the security agencies from probing the leaked audio tape.”
The group also urged security agencies to investigate the killings in Rivers state during the legislative poll and bring the culprits to book. It said this would serve as a deterrent to others.
