\u2022House raises alarm over Lloyd\u2019s health<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, has been accused of using his political ambition to cause tension in Rivers State.<\/p>\n

This is even as a member of the state House of Assembly advised opposition politicians to employ the huge resources they had committed to causing crisis to generate employment for youths.<\/p>\n

In a chat with journalists in Port Harcourt, the Senator represents Rivers West, Wilson Asonobi Ake, cautioned Wike not to allow his political ambition to destabilise the state.<\/p>\n

Ake noted that Wike has the rights to contest for any political position in the country, but such should not be used to cause tension and destabilise the public peace.<\/p>\n

The Senator described as condemnable a statement credited to Wike in which he threatened to make the state governor uncomfortable, asking the minister to refrain from making such utterances.<\/p>\n

Ake, however, noted that zoning formula was an understanding, but that if the minister wishes to oppose it, history would remind him in future<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI am not against anybody showing interest in any position in whatever form. There is no law against it. We only have moral and political understanding by allowing people to restrict their interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Senator said for Wike to threaten to make people sleep with an eye open is condemnable, pointing out that the minister was a beneficiary of zoning.<\/p>\n

Ake, however, said peace talks had begun, but for a meaningful peace to take place, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, must be redeployed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a member of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Leyii Kwamee, urged those investing huge resources in an attempt to impeach Governor Chibuike Amaechi to channel them to the establishment of industries.<\/p>\n

Kwamee said: \u201cIf such funds are channeled into establishing industries, it will go a long way in complimenting efforts by the state government to reduce poverty and the rising unemployment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kwamee, however, raised the alarm over the unstable health of the House of Assembly Leader, Hon Chidi Lloyd, who was granted bail by a court last two weeks.<\/p>\n

The House Deputy Speaker said that Lloyd was not only physical tormented, but was psychologically tormented during his detention, adding that the House Leader is currently not in a stable state.<\/p>\n
