Security agencies have been asked to investigate the statement accredited to former AkwaIbom State Governor GodswillAkpabio over alleged threat of war in the 2019 general elections.

The People’s Democratic Party in the state made the call yesterday in a statement by its publicity secretary, Ini Ememobong.

Ememobong said Akpabio should be held responsible if the state witnesses violence.

“We have read the Hitler’s invasion proclamation by Senator Godswill Akpabio in several credible news media, especially, ThisDay and Vanguard newspapers. The news reportage is to the effect that the former Minority Leader of the Senate had at the burial of his wife’s grandmother in Enugu notified his audience that ‘In 2019, Warsaw shall see war and war shall see Warsaw’. The reports specifically quoted him as saying again that ‘the impending 2019 election will be full-scale war and that my party APC, will win.’

“As a party, having waited for more than 24 hours without any release from him or his office, refuting the said news report, we have concluded that he made the statement.

The weight to be attached to this war cry becomes the next line of thought. “Should the statement be taken with a pinch of salt and viewed as one of the straw clutching antics of a drowning man? Or should it be viewed seriously as a blood thirsty motivated prophecy, announcing the plan of events to come? “We should consider the similarity in the dramatis personae in both the historic Nazi invasion of Poland under the command of Hitler and the planned reincarnation of the carnage in AkwaIbom State?

Can we safely interpret the characters as presented by the Senator accordingly: Nazi-APC, Hitler- Buhari, Hitler’s Information Minister, Goebbels- GodswilAkpabio”.
