The Federal Government has been called upon by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State to sanction Governor Nyesom Wike over his refusal to appear before a police probe panel on violence that characterized the just concluded re-run elections in the state.

The State Chairman of APC, Mr. Dave Ikanya in a statement described it as an affront on the federal government, the constitution of a similar probe panel by Governor Wike in the state.”˜This is a direct affront on federal powers and should be swiftly met with appropriate response by those whose authority he is challenging so as not to embolden others to follow his dangerous example. Wike has crossed the line and should be put in his proper place by the Federal Government whose powers he is brazenly challenging. Wike’s sole purpose in setting up the kangaroo commission is to ridicule APC leaders and make nonsense of the efforts by the police to probe and stop further killings in Rivers state’.However a Commission of Inquiry has been set up to investigate the security breaches of the re-run elections.
