Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the APC Federal Government does not appreciate the enormity of the security crisis facing the nation, hence their politicization of security.
Speaking during a special appearance on African Independent Television, AIT, breakfast programme, Kaakaki, on Wednesday, Governor Wike said the failure to tackle security challenges across the country has led to disillusionment amongst the populace.
He said: “We have never gotten to this level where there is this consciousness of division and fear in the country. People are now afraid of extermination.
“This country is in great danger. Let nobody deceive you. The way the nation is drifting does not portray that we are headed towards a prosperous destination “.

On the fight against corruption by the APC Federal Government, Governor Wike said that the Federal Government only works to emasculate the opposition, noting that the fight is not genuine.

He reiterated that there is nothing personal in the position of the Rivers State Government to expose the INEC Report Indicting SARs Commander, Akin Fakorede for electoral malpractice.
He said that all actions have been taken to alert members of the public on the negative actions against the electoral process and the resolve of Rivers people to protect democracy.
