RIVERS GOVT UNCOVERS PLOT TO BLACKMAIL WIKE OVER G-5 DEMANDS

Rivers state Government yesterday said it uncovered a plot by a faceless group to begin a campaign of calumny against Governor Nyesom Wike.

The governor and four of his colleagues, known as the G-5, have been demanding fairness in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

They are asking National Chairman Dr Iyorchia Ayu to resign because, according to them, it was agreed that he would step down if Atiku Abubakar, also a northerner, becomes the party’s presidential candidate.

Rivers Commissioner for Information and Communications, Chris Finebone, said the government obtained an unsigned document containing the plot to blackmail Wike.

Finebone said the development did not surprise the government and wondered why the group chose to remain faceless.
He said the government found out that individuals within the party were behind the campaign.
