Attack on Ondo Dep. Governor, Unacceptable – Wike warns Police, challenges Falana
Wike threw the challenge to Falana SAN, just as he condemned police involvement in partisan politics.
Speaking with newsmen at Government House Port Harcourt, the governor said it was wrong for the Commissioner of Police, Ondo State to dabble into politics by confining or denying the Ondo State Deputy Governor access to his residence based on the rumour of his defection to another political party.“The Nigeria Governors’ Forum should rise to the occasion and demand that those behind actions that bother on the infringement of constitutional rights be brought to book.
“If that Commissioner of Police was in Rivers State, he would have been removed. This is part of the reasons people say I criticise the Governors Forum. It is not created for any political party, it should speak against constitutional infractions.“A deputy governor linked to the purported rumour of defection has the right to freedom of association. What is the business of a commissioner of police?
The governor wondered why Femi Falana is not quick to condemn the role played by the police in breaching the provisions of the Nigerian constitution in Ondo State, the same way he condemned actions taken by the Rivers State Government to save the lives of Rivers people from the COVID-19 pandemic.
