The Rivers state government has urged People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in this year’s election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to call his attack dogs to order.
State Information and Communications Commissioner Chris Finebone said the PDP aggressors were still recovering from their defeat in the presidential election.
Finebone specifically identifies two of Atiku’s aides – Phrank Shuaibu and Daniel Bwala – as raiders who should be summoned to order an attack on Governor Nyesom Wike.
According to reports compiled by Inside Nigeria, he revealed this in a statement issued yesterday in the state capital Port Harcourt.
The statement said: “While Shuaibu’s nebulous background, pedestrian and trivial comments do not deserve a repeat or reply here, it is quite disappointing that Daniel Bwala, a lawyer, is making a TikTok video clip in which he meets the people of Rivers admonishes who and how they should vote in the upcoming gubernatorial and state elections this Saturday.
“It is understandable how a failure of the type of proportion their camp had recently suffered on February 25th and the imminent loss of their survival resource could cause.
But that shouldn’t disorient their reasoning to the point of lashing out at Wike.
“It is important to remind your ilk in the Atiku camp that everything that happened to them was self-inflicted.
He failed to convince his principal, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ewerchia Ayew, to do the right and simple thing to stick to his word.
“We hope they learn the truth that bad behavior has consequences.
Allowing the frustration of failure to drift into a state of hysteria and paranoia is unnecessary and can do them more political damage,” he said.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar must get rid of his attack dogs or be willing to bear the full range of consequences, including side effects, to which Governor Nyesom Wike and his team can bring about a strong response. .”
