” One month after I was sworn in, I was attacked” – Uchendu

The senator representing Rivers East senatorial district at the National Assembly, Chief Andrew Uchendu, has urged Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to stop alleged attacks on him.

At the First African Church (Holy Trinity Anglican Church) in Port Harcourt, during a victory thanksgiving organised in his honour by his family, Uchendu  stated that his victory was as a result of God’s intervention and called on Christian leaders to admonish Wike, to stop attacking him.

He stressed that his concern as a senator was to ensure peace and development in his senatorial district and Rivers State as a whole, emphasising that the time has come for power to rotate to other ethnic groups.

He said: “One month after I was sworn in, I was attacked and flown abroad unconscious for medical attention by Mr. Chibuike Amaechi and his wife. But today I am back to represent my people with a stronger voice.

“Tell Wike to stop fighting me. I am anointed by the Lord. I decided that my victory will be dedicated to peace and reconciliation in the state. I wrote to Amaechi and Wike that I want to make peace. Amaechi invited me but till today Wike has not acknowledged my letter.”
