Stop raising false alarms, Wike tackles Abe

Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike has told the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to stop raising false alarms ahead of the election.

Wike spoke on Monday at the campaign inauguration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Askari-Toru Local Government Area (ASALGA)

The Governor said Abe resorted to crying foul because he was unable to sustain his quest of soliciting acceptance from Rivers people to actualize his governorship dreams.

He insisted that nobody had stopped any candidate of political parties from campaigning and clarified that anyone intending to use a public facility for rallies must abide by the law and pay the non-refundable security fee of N5m.

The Governor said Abe had a penchant for raising false alarms and recalled that the former senator once claimed to be a victim of gunshots but failed to produce a doctor’s report to substantiate it.

Wike told Abe that the popularity that could win elections would not be secured in the media with false alarms but achieved with levels of direct relationship sustained with the people.

He told the people of Asari-Toru Local Government Area to expect his administration to kick off the dualisation of the East-West Road in Emohua to Tema junction in Asari-Toru, before the 25th of February.

The governor said all the promises he made to the Kalabari people when he sought their support between 2014 and 2015 when he was gunning for governorship had been fulfilled.

Wike listed some of the projects as the sand filling project in Abalama town, the reconstruction of Marywood Girls School and phase one of the Tans-Kalahari road project, which would soon be inaugurated.

Campaigning for the PDP consolidation team, Wike urged the people to vote for Sir Siminialayi Fubara, his running mate Prof. Ngozi Odu and other candidates of the party.
