The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike, on Tuesday urged the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to join
him to fight crime to a standstill in his state.
Speaking during the National
Security Summit in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, Wike also urged
politicians to join him in putting an end to the issue of insecurity in Rivers
State.
Wike called on all stakeholders
to put aside politics in the fight against insecurity in his state.
The governor also used the
opportunity to declare that he has nothing personal against the police boss.
According to Wike, “If we don’t
work together, how do we fight crime? I have told everybody who cares we are
all politicians. Join me to fight crime in my state. When the time for politics
comes, don’t worry, I know how to do it, but for now fight crime for me.
“I keep emphasizing, fight crime
for me when the time comes for politics the people will decide. Insecurity
stemS out of not allowing the people exercise their will. If you want to do
things against the will of the people, they will resist and this will resort to
violence.
“If tomorrow, INEC, decided to
conduct election and they bring a struck load of mobile police men, army civil
defence to carry the ballot boxes and the people says it will not happen here
and if they want to show their superiority, anything can happen.
“I came here to support the IG and
I want to say nobody has any personal thing against you. I want to assure you
that if you send your boys to the streets to fight crime, I will continue to
give them my support.”
We forget too soon..
ReplyDeleteAre you begging in style??? Then beg well so that you can be forgiven
ReplyDeleteNow you know better. When you invited back the cult boys and militants Amaechi drove underground or out of town to come and help you fight your perceived political enemies you forgot the wise saying that "the person who brings termite infested wood inside the house, should not complain when the lizards comes calling" meaning that you should carry your cross yourself.
