The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, Akawor Desmond, hadc the hotel where Wike is lodging in Benin City, the capital of Edo State, has been surrounded by over 300 policemen.

The lawmaker in an interview with Daily Post on Saturday described the siege as an attack on Rivers State and a threat to the nation’s democracy.

He said, “I’m calling on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, to call his men in Edo State to order, because, if anything happens to Governor Wike, Rivers people will react accordingly.”

“The governor is on an official assignment in Edo, being the Chairman of PDP campaign council, just as Kano governor for APC. I wonder why the presence of Governor Wike is making them jittery already.”
