Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Tuesday opened up on how his sacked six security details aborted the plot by state agents to assassinate him.
He said that the Police High Command dismissed the six policemen attached to him because they refused to allow the security agencies to execute their plot to kill him.
Governor Wike, who made the revelation when he received the Aluu Council of Chiefs at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, said that there was a detailed plan by the security agents to assassinate him, but his security details aborted the plot.
He said: “The policemen were dismissed because they did not allow the security agencies to assassinate me as was planned. The security agencies planned to assassinate me, but those attached to me resisted the plot and refused to allow them kill me. That is why they are angry and desperate.”
The governor said that he will continue to defend the interest of the state, noting that he will never plead with the offending security agencies to stop their illegal activities.
Wike said that the fraudulent invasion of Rivers State by security agents during the last rerun elections was a wakeup call on the people to be prepared for the rigging of the 2019 elections by the same security personnel.
He continued: “The security agencies by their actions on December 10, 2016 rerun elections alerted us on how they plan to rig the 2019 elections. We are now prepared for them.”
The governor commended the Aluu community for supporting the state government to tackle cultism in the area. He said that the peaceful nature of the area had led to improved execution of projects for the people by his administration.
He pledged that his administration would continue to develop different communities in line with the electoral promises he made to the people.
The Chairman of the Aluu Council of Chiefs, Chief Ken Nwabunwo, lauded Governor Wike for the state burial he accorded their son, Capt. Elechi Amadi.
He also praised the governor for renaming Port Harcourt Polytechnic as Elechi Amadi Polytechnic and thanked him for constructing the major road to the area.
