Wike Says Police Report Proves Atiku’s Man, Lee Maeba Was Not Attacked By Thugs

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has harped on the need for politicians to play decent politics saying that the police report on the alleged attack on Senator Lee Maeba, Atiku Abubakar’s campaign coordinator in Rivers had vindicated him of the use of thugs.

He said, in all his political journey, the use of violence has never been part of measures adopted to assail his political goals.

Governor Wike spoke when he inaugurated the Okrika Founder’s Park on Saturday in Koniju Ama in Okrika Local Government Area.

Governor Wike said it is unfortunate that the likes of Senator Lee Maeba, who  is still stuck in politics of violence could be accusing him of violence.

He wondered the basis why Senator Lee Maeba would allege that political thugs were sent by him to invade his house, an incidence police report has invalidated.

“Two days again, I was watching on TV, it’s unfortunate, I saw Lee Maeba, I saw Austin Opara,I saw Abiye Sekibo saying  that my humble self sent people to Lee Maeba’s house to attack him, to kill him, I couldn’t believe it.

“But you saw the Commissioner of Police’s report. He said, listen, your house is surrounded by houses, you have two gates to your house, not one gate was damaged, not one.

“The cars you said that were damaged are rickety cars no brand-new cars were touched. Have you ever seen such?

Governor Wike said he thought that by now, people should have a limit to how far they can play politics.

Wike stated that by the allegations made by Senator Lee Maeba against him of using thugs, the man was pushing issues too far, but instead of playing politics of violence, he would rather resort using legal means.

“But you see, I laugh. I said God, well, you know the truth. But people are pushing politics too far. I am sleeping , you are waking me up. When I wake, whatever you see you take.

“Please, advise our people not to play the kind of politics they are playing. Let’s play decent politics. Anybody who knows me know too well, my own is, if I want to fight you, I don’t need to send anybody, I will go to court.”

Governor Wike spoke of Chief Adokiye Amiesimaka as an Okrikan who meant well for his people and has invested personal resources to provide the Founder’s Park.

He noted that with such gesture, Chief Amiesimaka has distinguished himself  from those who are self seeking, used their political positions to enrich themselves instead of ensuring construction of the ring road in Okrika.
