Wike Is Ruling Rivers With Strong Fist – APC

The Rivers state chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on Governor Nyesom Wike to name his cabinet and stop running a one man show.

This remark was contained in a statement release by the state publicity secretary of the party, Chris Finebone, advising the state governor to follow President Muhammadu Buhari’s foot step, as he had said he would appoint his full cabinet this September, Daily Post reports.

The APC statement read in part: “What many may not know is that the governor is carefully executing his grand scam, laced with superficial quick-wins meant to deceive the gullible and wow the not-so-informed of our people.

“As a sign that the governor was not ready to deliver good governance to the people, he constituted a committee to write a blueprint for his government weeks after having been sworn in to office.

“Again, 100 days after being sworn in to office, Governor Nyesom Wike is unable to name a single project or programme his government will undertake for the people. While there is nothing wrong in completing projects commenced by his predecessor, he has refused to do the simplest thing: acknowledge and give credit to the initiator of the projects he is now completing and claiming as his achievements in 100 days. This is indeed true to his character of betrayal.

“On the surface, it appears no one can blame the hapless tenant on Nsukka Street, Diobu or somewhere in Borikiri whose street is being covered with asphalt from singing Hallelujah for Governor Wike.

“Yes, it appears that you cannot so much fault the dweller of Old GRA who sees men working to cover up potholes around Forces Avenue for clapping for Nyesom Wike. But in all, is the Governor telling anyone what the costs of these projects are? Does he have any explanation that some of these projects were awarded to him in the past and he abandoned them after collecting huge sums? Indeed, does Nyesom Wike tell anyone that most of those projects are being executed by his companies using fronts? In all the scenarios painted, the answer is a big ‘No.”

The APC noted that Wike’s excuse will be hinged on the ongoing election tribunal case as he would like to get over it before constituting a cabinet.

“Knowing full well that he will not survive the tribunal, Governor Wike is determined to govern alone as a sole administrator for the period his government will last with himself as the Commissioner for Works, the due process office and everything else.

“The ultimate objective of the governor is to use the period of his short reign to corner all the Federal allocations due Rivers State to line his pocket. This will be in addition to the numerous high interest bank loans he is garnering from Nigerian banks. At the end of the day, he will have sufficiently lined his pocket while his motley band of acolytes end up with crumbs by the time they will be chased away from Government House Port Harcourt by the tribunal,” the APC opined.

Meanwhile, Amaechi had challenged the state government to publish statements of accounts of three banks he left behind on May 29, 2015.  He said he left N8 billion in these accounts but Wike’s administration continued to paint him black to the public
