Obuah Commends Gov Wike For Fighting Insecurity
Institutionalized By Amaechi
The Rivers State Chapter
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has applauded the State Governor, Nyesom Wike
for aggressively ridding the State of high rate of insecurity that spilled over
from the former governor of the State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
The PDP Chairman, Bro
Felix Obuah in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry
Needam, said current and enduring steps being taken by Governor Nyesom Wike
towards containing the menace of insecurity in the State are highly
commendable.
He said the
anti-kidnapping law, the massive support given to security agencies in the State
and the donation of 64 patrol vans, fully equipped with security gadgets and
500 raincoats to the Rivers State Police Command and other security agencies,
as well as cash rewards for the family of any security officer felled in the
line of duty and anyone who provides useful information to the police for the arrest
of criminals in the State are worthwhile incentives and commendable steps by
Governor Wike aimed at fighting crimes in the State.
The PDP Chairman
regretted that under former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, crimes and all manner of criminalities
were legalized and institutionalized while lawlessness became the order of the
day because Amaechi refused to call for security meetings with Security Chiefs
in the State having fallen out with all service chiefs in the State.
Some other actions of
Rotimi Amaechi that encouraged multiplication of crimes in the State according
to the State PDP Boss, include the withholding and mismanagement of security
votes, leaving the then Police Commissioner without funds and support.
“The courts were also closed
for over a year, criminals encouraged and placed on payroll of government and
those who were arrested by the police and detained for prosecution in courts
were released and set free on the directive of Rotimi Amaechi.
Youths were extremely
equipped with dangerous weapons and recruited by Rotimi Amaechi to prosecute
the All Progressives Congress, APC elections in the State.
Rivers State under
RotimiAmaechi was under seizure. Rivers people lived in fear and tension.
Senior citizens were haunted and rubbished. Charlatans who did the bidding of
Amaechi took over governance and local government councils in the State.
Residents were helpless and defenceless, and sleeping with their eyes open.
Bro Obuah said the State
Governor is winning the war against insecurity in the State and assured Rivers
people and Nigerians that Governor Wike was on top of the situation, noting
that in no distant time, insecurity will be reduced to the barest minimum in
Rivers State.
