About 300 policemen that laid siege on the hotel premises where Rivers State Governor, , Nyesom Wike, lodges in Edo state have left.
The PDP confirmed in a post in the early hours of Saturday.
The post reads: “The over 300 policemen, drafted to seize Governor Wike’s hotel in Benin City, Edo State, have left the premises of the hotel.”
Governor Wike is in Edo state as the Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council to provide support for Godwin Obaseki who is party’s candidate in the state governorship election holding today, Saturday 19 September.
PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, had raised the alarm that the hotel where Governor Wike lodges was under siege, fearing that the lives of Wike and other PDP governors who came for the election could be under threat.
The Edo State PDP Chairman, Akawor Desmond also in a statement on Friday said the PDP will hold the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, responsible if anything happened to the governor.
Desmond said, “The attention of the entire people of Rivers State has been drawn to the siege laid at the hotel where the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, is lodging while on official assignment in Benin, Edo State.
