A cheiftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who described himself as Ambassador for Peace in Ogoni land, Chief Solomon Ndigbara has raised alarm over threats to his life by agents of the state government.
In a petition copies of which he sent to the federal government of Nigeria, the United Nations High Commission For Human Rights, the United States Government, the U.K government and all lovers of peace and free societies, Chief Solomon appealed that they should prevail on governor Rotimi Amaechi’s led All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state to spear his life.
He said that the recent allegation that minister of education, Chief Nyesom Wike paid the sum of N25million to him during his last visit was a calculated attempt not just to smear his good name but a direct plot against his life by the Rotimi Amaechi’s 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 N50million to me.
“Rather than paying me the compensation awarded by the court, they now seek to kill me.”
Chief Solomon wanted APC in the state to know that lying against him and placing
their spies to monitor his 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.”
