Prof. Henry Ogboma, one of the 1,000 defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress has revealed shocking and startling details of instructions allegedly issued by Governor Nyesom Wike to the Rivers State Judicial Commission of Inquiry.

Ogboma was part of the Commission was set up by Governor Wike to investigate the activities of ex-governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi.

Speaking over the weekend at Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni local government area of Rivers State, he revealed that Wike put pressure on the panel to find anything that could be used to indict Amaechi, which is the reason the panel was set up in the first place.

He said: “When I was proposed as member of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry, I told them that I was not disposed to such an assignment, but after I appraised the nature of those who came to my house to persuade me to accept the job, their utterances and advice, I came to the conclusion that the assignment was not open for my election. So I took it.”

“The private briefing was more shocking and worrisome to me. It was more like, ‘you guys must look for something, you must create something to indict Amaechi’.

“The Report was adjusted several times without success. At some point I felt pity for the Chairman. He was helpless. Please, I don’t want to say more about that Panel for now. All I can tell you is that the PDP is an assemblage of greedy elements, militants and touts who have no interest of the State at heart. The Governor and the PDP are desperate. You need to be extremely careful to stay around them,” the professor added.

The State Government is yet to react to damming allegations against the Party and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry.
