The All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State chapter has uncovered a strategic plan by Governor Nyesom Wike to obtain loans totalling N100b in the few months with a view to plunging the state into an abyss of debt and economic servitude.

The Spokesman of the APC, Chris Finebone  in a statement disclosed that the governor plans to collect the said amount in tranches of N10b, N20b, N30b and N40b within a period of two months.

According to the statement within the past two weeks, Wike has already sought and gotten the approval of his lap-dog Rivers State House of Assembly to obtain N10b and N20b loans from Zenith Bank PLC and Access Bank PLC respectively.

“Information we are privy to strongly indicates that the governor and his men have started negotiation with Heritage and Eco Banks to obtain another loan of N30b in the coming week or so. ‘This will bring the total amount of loan obtained by the embattled governor to N60b in less than 45 days as governor of Rivers State.

“The APC can only agree that the good people of Rivers State have ended up in the notorious Lagos buses used in robbing unsuspecting citizens popularly called ‘one chance.’ With the short-term Wike-led government of Rivers State, indeed, we have all entered a ‘one chance’ bus,” the party said.

Seriously speaking,  APC said it boggles the mind that a sitting governor of a state will embark on such wanton collection of loans by selling the dummy of completing projects to innocent Rivers people without consideration for the long-term negative economic implication of mortgaging the future of the state.

The APC would like to state that beyond the dummy of borrowing to complete projects which the governor had been selling to Rivers people, the real intention of Governor Wike’s reckless borrowing was to provide funds for his cronies who have started showing signs of disenchantment and the need to deepen his war chest preparatory to a re-run election that is looming.

Sadly enough, the party said the governor’s obscene borrowing spree was mortgaging the lives and future of the present generation and generation yet unborn to years of economic servitude.

“As long as the scheme of this governor succeeds, we all and our children yet unborn will be eternally tied to the apron-strings of those cavalier banks that are conniving with the governor while he walks free after being sent packing as governor in a few months’ time.

‘For the APC, the matter is graver than the governor probably knows. Governor Nyesom Wike should not spend the future of our generation and that of our unborn children in advance.

“And for the unborn generation, it will amount to robbing them of their existence which the governor does not have a right to because it will be within their human rights to demand reparation by which time the perpetrator may not be around anymore,’’ the party said..
