I wish to use this opportunity to debunk a media report published on May 21, 2014 in The Nation newspapers in which the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) made a frivolous and spurious claim that the Honorable Minister For Education, Chief (Barr)

Nyesom Wike, paid the sum of N25 million to me, Chief Solomon Ndigbara during his last visit.

I state for the records that this is a calculated attempt not just to smear my good name but a direct plot against my life by the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi-led All Progressive Congress in Rivers State.

It is on record that there had been several attempts at my life by the Rivers State Government which led to the institution of a legal action against the Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Magnus Abe, the Hon. Attorney General of Rivers State, Commissioner of

Police and others in Suit No. FHC/PHC/CS/583/2011 where the cause of action was infringement of my fundamental human rights as a citizen of Nigeria.

As you may be aware, judgment was given in my favor and ever since then, I continue to receive threats even though they are yet to comply with the orders of the court with the payment of the N50 million to me.

Rather than paying me the compensation awarded by the court, they now seek to kill me.

The APC in Rivers State should know that lying against me and placing their spies to monitor my personal life will not guarantee their success in the forth-coming elections in Rivers State.

As usual, the APC in Rivers State wants to send me away so that they can do their manipulation and terrorism in Rivers State ahead of the 2015 elections.

At a time I have committed my personal resources to peace building in Ogoniland, the APC in Rivers State wants to deceptively use lies to hatch their plot against my life.

I am therefore calling on the Nigerian Government, the United Nations High Commission For Human Rights, The United States Government, the U.K government and all lovers of peace and free societies to prevail on the Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi-led All Progressive Congress (APC) in

Rivers State to spare my life.
