Buhari vs Atiku: Gov. Wike reveals plans for families killed during election
The Government’s decision was conveyed in a statement on Wednesday in Port Harcourt by Mr Simeon Nwakaudu, the Special Assistant on Electronic Media to Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers.
It stated that the Governor, who spoke at a memorial service at St Paul’s Nyemoni Church in honour of Abonnema people and soldiers who died on Feb. 23 and March 2, said that the committee would also identify the bereaved families. The governor said that Ipalibo would also lead a high-profile delegation to the Nigerian Army to commiserate with them on the death of their personnel during the elections and on March 2 at Abonnema.
“I appeal to politicians to understand that power comes from God. Those who foment trouble should be asked to bring their grown up children to execute political violence. Governor Wike urged Rivers people not to be provoked, in spite of what he called antics of those determined to cause crisis during the Governorship and State Assembly elections.
The Amanyanabo of Abonnema, King Disrael Bob-Manuel, said that the Akuku-Toru Local Government Traditional Council got intelligence that there might be violence during Presidential and National Assembly elections and took measures to forestall it.He said ahead of the Governorship and State Assembly elections, the Council would hold another peace meeting on Thursday where an accord will be signed.
