Wike Vows To Hold Oshiomhole, Sylva Liable For Any Harm On The Odilis

The Rivers State government has vowed that it would hold Adams Oshiomhole and Timipire Sylva personally responsible should anything happen to the former governor of the state, Dr. Peter Odili or members of his family.

The government resolution was upon the recent demonstrations staged at the Abuja residence of the Odilis against the decision of the Supreme Court to nullify the election of David Lyon as governor of Bayelsa State.

Affirming that the Rivers State Government would hold Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC and Sylva, the minister of state for petroleum, for any harm on the Odilis, the Rivers State Executive Council in a resolution deposed thus:

1. That the Rivers State Executive Council observed that the Federal Government seems not to show interest in the sponsored threats to the lives of Dr Peter Odili and members of his family. 

2.  That the Rivers State Executive Council condemns the barricading of the residence of Dr Peter  Odili  at Maitama, Abuja by sponsored thugs of the All Progressives  Congress (APC) .

3. That the Rivers State Executive Council wondered why Dr Peter Odili’s family should be singled out for the unwarranted attack,  when the judgment that ousted David Lyon as Governor of Bayelsa State was a unanimous decision of a five-member  panel of Supreme Court Justices.

4.That the Rivers State Executive Council warns the Minister of State for Petroleum,  Chief Timipre Sylva and the National Chairman of APC,  Adams Oshiomhole and their hired agents to desist from the sponsorship of violent attacks against Dr Peter Odili and members of his family.

5. That the Rivers State Government will hold Timipre  Sylva and Adams Oshiomhole responsible if anything happens to Dr Peter Odili and members  of  his family.

6. That the Rivers State Executive Council noted that in the past Rivers State suffered unfavourable Judicial Pronouncements and never resorted to self help as being promoted by APC Leaders in the case of Bayelsa State.

7.That the Rivers State Government will employ all legal means to protect Dr Peter  Odili and members  of his family.

8. That the Rivers  State Government will protect Rivers State Indigenes  who are serving Federal and State  Judicial officers .

9. That the Rivers State Government warns that should this harassment  and intimidation  continue,  it will have no alternative  than to retaliate.

10. That the Rivers State Government will defend the lives and property of Rivers people at all times.

11. Enough is enough.
