Rivers State House of Assembly member, Evans Bipi, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of staging the attack on its rally in Okrika on Tuesday, February 17.
Bipi, who is believed to be a cousin to First Lady, Patience Jonathan, stated this on Wednesday, 18, via a statement.
"Let
this be a warning to Governor Amaechi and Dakuku to leave the First
Lady and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate,
Chief Nyesom Wike, and myself, including the PDP, out of their series of
stage-managed attacks as their frequent blackmails will always remain
dead on arrival,” Bipi stated.
“The
statement credited to Peterside, the governorship flagbearer of APC,
along with Governor Amaechi, accusing me of leading gunmen to attack
their rally in Okrika on Tuesday, is most unfortunate and above all, the
height of irresponsibility on their part and the APC. I was outside the
state when the report of the ugly incident got to me,” he added.
“While
I condemn the said attack in its entirety, I challenge Peterside,
Amaechi and the APC to produce the evidence of their spurious allegation
against me, the first Lady and the PDP governorship candidate, Chief
Wike, within the next 24 hours or else I will take necessary lawful and
legal actions against them and their party,” Bipi concluded.
Governor Rotimi Amaechi had accused the Mrs. Jonathan and Wike, the PDP governorship candidate, of being behind the attack on the APC rally.
Bipi
has been accused of spearheading efforts to impeach Amaechi and once
said that the First Lady, whom he (Bipi) calls “Mummy”, is his personal Jesus Christ.
