A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has said it is unruly and insensitive for anyone to issue threats to Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.
This is as he cautioned president-general of the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI), Bright Amaewhule and others against abusing the exalted office of the Governor of the state and accord some respects to the holder of the office.
Eze, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday, said Amaewhule’s outburst qualifies him for an invitation from relevant security agencies for questioning and called on the Police to quickly wade-in to deter other merchants of crime.
The APC chieftain said it beats ones imagination that miscreants and minion operating in the guise of politics would gather the guts to dish out threats to a sitting governor in a public forum without recourse to the legal implication of their careless misadventure and its effects on their rights as citizens in a bid simply to impress one overzealous political boss.
He commended Fubara on his peaceful disposition but warned those mistaking his demeanor for cowardice and hinging on it to foment troubles to retrace their steps as the governor reserves so much power to decisively deal with their insubordination.
Eze stated that both the Inspector -General of Police and other security agencies were fully aware of this threat and must not keep mute until some forces of darkness turns the state into a theatre of war.
He said: “People should not misunderstand Governor Fubara on the role he has chosen on how to govern the State because God in his love towards Rivers State and her people resolved to adopt Fubara as a tool to rescue the State from the hands of those who have kept the State in perpetual darkness for the past eight years or so.
“You can imagine the difference between the present IGR of N27Billion to what was obtainable this past eight years. That is sheer wickedness.”
