In a move he described as “unfortunate, wicked and unfair”, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has reportedly announced the alleged plan of the Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria to frame him up for a series of crimes when he travels abroad.
In a statement released on Sunday by his Special Assistant on electronic media, Simeon Nwakaudu, Governor Wike claimed that the Federal Government is planning to humiliate him abroad, in the same manner they humiliated former Bayelsa state governor, Alamieseigha.
See the full statement below:
“My investigation reveals that the federal government [is] using her security agencies in planning to set me up anytime I am travelling outside the country.”
“They plan to organise security to storm the hotel I am staying and say they found xyz cash in my possession; after which they would say I was arrested for currency trafficking or whatever offences outside the country.
“They will then precipitate crisis in my state and other parts of Nigeria. They will plan demonstrations to demonize me and claim I have gone outside to embarrass the country. The public odium is meant to smear me before my people and other Nigerians. It is unfortunate, wicked and unfair.”
