We know who has killed so many people in this State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Governor Wike recalled aspects of the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) set up by the Chibuike Amaechi\u2019s administration and headed by late Justice Kayode Eso that clearly indicted Sekibo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJustice Kayode Eso, retired justice of the Supreme Court of blessed memory, in a judicial panel report, indicted Abiye Sekibo as the head of cultists that killed so many people in Rivers State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Governor Wike insisted that it was also not true the allegation of burning down the venue that has been graciously approved by his administration for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council to hold its presidential campaign rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we granted approval for the candidate (presidential) of the party to hold their rally at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium. I do know that if you go there today, no stadium has been burnt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, it is impossible for anybody to say somebody\u2019s life was attempted and then the place was burnt down. It is not correct.<\/p>\n<p>In categorical terms, governor Wike persisted: \u201cAnd if there is anything like that, the person should report the matter to the police and all those found culpable will face the wrath of the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the first time. If you know you don\u2019t have the capacity to mobilise the support which you have promised some people say so. Do not carry propaganda against innocent people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the crowd, Governor Wike said the senatorial campaign rally was furtherance to the ongoing efforts to mobilise party members and Rivers voters to keep faith with PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe decided to see that all the senatorial districts hold themselves together as what we may call our rally. All I want to appeal to all of us is for all of us to continue to remain steadfast, and continue to mobilise our people as regards the forthcoming election on February 25 and March 11, 2023.
