Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Sunday alleged that the Federal Government was putting final touches to a plot to assassinate him.
Wike, who made the allegation at the Living Faith Church in Port Harcourt where he attended a thanksgiving service for the third year anniversary of his administration said rather than focus on good governance, the Federal government was planning to assassinate or frame him.
His words: “Intelligence report available to us as of this morning indicated that they are plotting to assassinate me in a crowd and claim it was an accidental discharge. The level of conspiracy against Rivers State is unfortunate. Instead of focusing on governance, they focus on how to assassinate me or frame me up.”
On the framing allegation, Wike said the police under the directive of the All Progressives Congress-led government had planned to plant millions of dollars and AK-47 rifles in his home in Abuja, and then obtain a search warrant mandating them to search the house.
“I am not afraid of my residence being searched by the police, but I know their evil intention,” the governor added.
