Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition lawmakers\u2019 coalition spokesperson, Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere has called on the federal government and relevant security agencies to ensure that the minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike and his supporters face justice over alleged burning of local government headquarters in Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Recall that in response to recent tensions following last Saturday\u2019s local government council election, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.<\/p>\n

He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.<\/p>\n

Ugochinyere in a statement on Tuesday, commended the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara for setting up a judicial panel of inquiry, saying that if Wike and his cohorts were found culpable, they should be charged and prosecuted.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cAll these explanations on TV by Nyesom Wike, I don\u2019t understand why he\u2019s crying, so the only thing I will advise is that there\u2019s no way he will escape the involvement of his supporters which I\u2019m beginning to believe from his television comments that he\u2019s fully aware, that he might be part of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commend the state government for setting up a judicial panel of enquiry. It doesn\u2019t matter who you are, the panel must sit. If indeed he\u2019s involved in this treasonable act to destroy another arm of government and burn it to the ground, then he should be charged, prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we pampering? A whole state, a whole government will be your own? Because you came from where? What is it? I want to thank the state government for setting up a judicial panel of inquiry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those that are involved, the office of the Attorney General should prosecute them. If they burn a government at the local level, they will burn state, federal and democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment needs to deal with it decisively because the consequences will be a lot, hiding behind being a supporter of the president to do the unthinkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
