A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chukwuemeka Eze has berated the Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike of turning the state into a hotbed of cultism, killing and Kidnapping through his incompetence and ineptitude.
The Chieftain who stated this while reacting to Wike's appeal to the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi to sheath sword and support his quest to lift the state to another level, said the governor was jittery of the case against him at the tribunal. He said instead of wasting his time appealing to Amaechi, Wike should be preparing his defence at the election petitions tribunal, adding that the allegedly manipulated and massively-rigged elections would not stand.
“Wike’s state broadcast, among other deficiencies, failed to address the critical issues bedevilling the State, especially insecurity and loss of value for human lives.
“The starting point for Rivers governor ought to have been an unreserved apology to Rivers people because he (Wike) engineered the insecurity, which has destroyed many communities in Rivers State.
“Contrary to the erroneous impression contained in Wike’s state broadcast, Amaechi has no case that Wike’s Attorney-General has to withdraw or recommend to be discontinued, as it is hypocritical to sit on a seat of the governor unjustly and look for who to hold peace parley with.
Neither the Transportation Minister nor the APC is the cause of the current bad governance in Rivers State. Wike, through his lack of vision and ineptitude, has turned the once economically bubbling, secure and peaceful state into a hotbed of cultism, killings, kidnapping and an unsafe haven.
“It is sad that instead of Wike to address challenging issues confronting the people of Rivers State, he is dwelling so much on the crisis he ignited in Rivers APC, to his benefit.
“While Wike was reading his state broadcast, medical doctors were protesting non-payment of their seven-month salaries. Pensioners and civil servants are at a loss on who to present their plight of non-payment of their pensions and salaries for many months to.”
