(NEWS RELEASE)
South-South All Progressive Congress Chieftain, Comrade Tonye Brown Peterside has expressed his full supports of Concern Indigenes of Oil Minerals Producing State Vanguard (CIOMPSV) calling for the cancellation of N482m contract allegedly issued by Dikio to Freight Company Express Concern International.
Mr Peterside maintained that his forum, APC Youth Solidarity Vanguard (SAYSV) is in full support of (CIOMPSV) advocating for President Muhammadu Buhari to dismiss and order for the prosecution of the Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Colonel Dixon Dikio for alleged “misappropriation, insubordination and betrayal of trust.”
Peterside, said the barrage of attacks on the integrity and personality of the President by Dikio, his brother, Professor E.D Dikio who is Labour Party candidate for the River West Senatorial seat represent the height of betrayal, treachery and ingratitude.
Peterside said they would not fold their arms and allow Dikio use funds meant for South South development to fund his brother’s Labour Party and Obidient political campaign in the Niger Delta.
The group wonders why Dikio would allegedly use Uchenna Ilomechizine, as PAP consultant, knowing full well that she (Ilomechizine) is a prominent Labour Party financier in South South and South East.
Peterside alleged that it’s through Ilomechizine companies that multi-million contracts are given by Dikio without any due process and the proceeds been channel for anti-Buhari, anti-Tinubu smear campaigns.
The group further accused Col Dikio (rtd) and his brother of using Dr. Llyod Ukwu, Dr. Bolaji Akinyemi to spread the hate and resentful messages on Whatsapp platform.
They alleged that “We The People of Nigeria WhatsApp” was created by Dr. Llyod Ukwu, Dr. Bolaji Akinyemi and Prof. E.D. Dikio.
It will be recalled that a Rivers State All Progressive Congress (APC) Chieftain, Pere Johnson, had said unprintable words to describe Colonel Dixon Dikio (rtd) and his brother, Professor E.D. Dikio.
He said as unfortunate and uncalled for, that the Dikios are biting the fingers that fed them.
Chief Pere Johnson also called for the sacking of Colonel Dikio and his brother who doubles as his Special Adviser, Professor E.D. Dikio, from his office as Interim Administrator of The Presidential Amnesty Programme for allegedly insulting the person and office of President Buhari.
Mr Johnson added that: “it is totally unacceptable, a gross act of disloyalty and insubordination for Dikio and his brother to be making mockery of the exalted office of the president, a father of the land and also to be insulting our presidential flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu on social media.
“Dikio’s WhatsApp page, We The People of Nigeria is awash with abusive comments”.
