Wike is a huge embarrassment to Rivers people – Peterside

One of the leaders of All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State and governorship candidate in the 2015 elections, Dakuku Peterside, has decribed Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike ‎as an embarrassment to the State.

Peterside, who is also the Director General of NIMASA, therefore, called on Wike to “do some soul searching and reconcile himself with what should truly represent his direction and motive for governing the state. He is virtually in the news for all the wrong reasons.”

He accused Wike of causing so much embarrassment to the collective interest and aspirations of Rivers people.

“What manner of a man is Wike, his desperation to become governor at all cost led to loss of many lives and destruction of properties.

“LSince becoming governor, it has been bad news all the way. Many people, including security personnel have been murdered in different parts of the state. Now, policemen have been dismissed from service all because of the inordinate ambition of one man.

“How can the governor of a state force his way into INEC collation centre and under heavy intimidation, harassment and threat to life, force the returning officer to declare a winner when the results of Emohua and Etche local government areas have not been collated.

“He clearly had no business storming the collation centre with policemen and his thugs. He took his immunity to a ridiculous level, thus endangering the lives of people and career of security personnel.

“Here is a governor who cries at every given opportunity, yet he is the one compromising every known government institution to serve to selfish ambition. Never have we had a governor who is so unsure of himself and what he says.

“Not too long ago, he told Rivers people not to participate in the probe panel set up by Inspector General of Police, but the same governor is now crying to Police IG to reveal those behind the killing of two policemen during the rerun election. Same man who vowed not to fund security agencies in the state again is now the one saying he is ready to support them. How do you associate Rivers people with such a man who is not straightforward?” He querried.
