AAC: Wike accused of financing purported failed suspension of Sowore

The Rivers State Chapter of Africa Action Congress, AAC, has accused Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike of financing the purported suspension of Omoyele Sowore by the National leadership of AAC, alleging that it is a, “sinister attempt to scuttle the party’s efforts to reclaim its mandate at the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal”.

The party in a statement signed by Rivers State AAC Governorship Candidate, Engr. Biokpomabo Festus Awara and made available to Fresh Angle International Friday May 24, further alleged, “Mr. Nzenwa, having received an undisclosed sum of Rivers money, is acting a script given to him by forcing the lawyer representing us at the Election Petition Tribunal, Tawo E. Tawo (SAN) to withdraw from representing us and imposing one of the known cronies of the Rivers State Governor to take over the case.”

 “The recent move by Mr. Wike, is seen in the action of one Mr. Leonard Nzenwa who claims to be the acting National Chairman of the African Action Congress, AAC”, the statement stressed.

He added, “We have it on a good authority that Gov. Wike single handedly financed the 'failed suspension'  of our National  Chairman, Omoyele Sowore and in a bid to buy more members of the party, he(Wike) has also reached out  to the National Legal Adviser of our party, Barr. Inibehe  Effiong, who declined to accept the bribe offered him by the governor. To this end, we are calling on Mr. Nyesom Wike to channel the resources he is expending on bribing everyone just to scuttle our victory at the Tribunal to other meaningful ventures, like addressing the infrastructural deficit in the state and problems of insecurity rather than wasting our resources on bribery. We therefore call on Rivers People to remain calm as we continue with our case at the Tribunal”.
