Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Rivers State government has alleged a plot to blackmail the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, over the agitation by the G-5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

The State\u2019s Commissioner for Information and Communication, Chris Finebone, disclosed this at a press conference in Port Harcourt on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a statement by Wike\u2019s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, Finebone said a \u201cfaceless group\u201d was behind a campaign of calumny against the governor.<\/p>\n

Finebone said the faceless group was aggrieved that Wike led the G-5 governors to demand \u201cfairness, equity and justice\u201d in PDP.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is the evidence of the plot to blackmail governor Wike. This is the document and it is titled: \u2018Proposal with hashtag, to end Wike rascality programme\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encouraged them to remove their mask and show themselves as the governor and the government is equal to the task of responding to them adequately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can\u2019t even sign it (the document) to push for this. It is important we warn them. It is important we also warn Nigerians about this scheme. We expect more of them to come. But I can assure you that the governor and the G-5 would rise to the occasion as they continue to start this type of campaign of calumny.\u201d<\/p>\n

The G-5 group comprising of governors from Benue, Oyo, Enugu, Abia, and Wike have been agitating for equity in the rotation of the party\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

They demanded that Iyorchia Ayu should resign as the party\u2019s National Chairman.<\/p>\n

The Wike-led group noted that the North should not be allowed to produce the party\u2019s flagbearer and the National Chairman.<\/p>\n

They advocated that the position of the National Chairman should be zoned to the Southern part of the country.<\/p>\n
