Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has alleged that the police high command dismissed the six policemen attached to him because they prevented security agencies from assassinating him, The Guardian reports.
Wike claimed that there was a detailed plan by the security agencies to assassinate him, but his security details resisted the execution of the evil plot.
The governor stated this when Aluu Council of Chiefs visited him at the Government House, Port Harcourt yesterday.“ The security agencies planned to assassinate me, but those attached to me resisted the plot and refused to allow them kill me. That is why they are angry and desperate,’’ he said.
The police high command had dismissed six police officers attached to the governor last month for allegedly accompanying the governor to the Port Harcourt legislative houses rerun election coalition centre.
The governor said that he will continue to defend the interest of the state, noting that he will never plead with the offending security agencies to stop their illegal activities.
“The security agencies by their actions on December 10, 2016 Re-run elections alerted us on how they plan to rig the 2019 elections. We are now prepared for them”, he said.
The governor lauded the Aluu community for cooperating with his government to tackle cultism in the area. He said the peaceful nature of the area has led to improved execution of projects for the people.
The chairman of the Council, Chief Ken Nwabunwo, praised governor Wike for the state burial accorded their son, Capt. Elechi Amadi. They also commended him for renaming the former Port Harcourt Polytechnic as Elechi Amadi Polytechnic and constructing the major road to the area.
