How Mace snatching was planned by FG – Wike Reveals

On Sunday, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, said that the invasion of the Senate was a plot by the Federal Government to overthrow the leadership of the Senate.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, the governor also alleged that the Federal Government wanted to use security agencies to frame him by planting somebody to claim that he received $3m from the Rivers State governor.

Wike spoke during 105th Annual Convention of the Nigerian Baptist Convention at Ndele, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State on Sunday.

He said,
“They (FG) plotted to overthrow the leadership of the Senate, but they failed. What you saw was a horrible design to remove the Senate leadership.
