Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Rivers State Governor, has said that Nigerians need to rise up against the growing dictatorship under the APC-led Federal Government.
Wike, who condemned the siege on the National Assembly, declared that the assault on the National Assembly by Security Forces ordered by the APC Federal Government is condemnable and has the capacity to truncate the nation’s democracy.
Governor Wike called on the National Assembly members to stand firm in defence of the nation’s democracy.
According to him: “All well meaning Nigerians should stand up against this dictatorship. All over the world, this has never happened.
“Nigerians should not stand aloof and watch what is going on. This will consume so many people if we don’t rise against it.”
“All members of the National Assembly should resist that anti-democratic attempt and stand-up to defend our democracy “.
Wike, however, chided his colleagues in the governor’s forum who are happy with the anti-democratic plots of the APC Federal Government.
“Those governors happy with what is happening today should know that it will be their turn tomorrow. The same cabal will turn against these governors.
“This is condemnable and unacceptable to us. You must follow the setdown rules.
You cannot talk about fighting corruption and refuse to respect the rule of law” he concluded
