WIKE DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM HIS CHAIN OF PROBLEMS

In what has become a disgusting obsession with Benue and the current Governor of the State, Samuel Ortom, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in the March 27, 2017 edition of Daily Sun, called for probe of his Benue State counterpart over Paris Club refund. He also lied that he is constructing two roads in Benue State.
We find the two issues not only laughable but also diversionary. Governor Wike is apparently trying to use Benue to divert attention from the gross failure of governance and stinking corruption being witnessed in Rivers State.
We hasten to state that Governor Wike is not constructing roads in any part of Benue State. We challenge him to publish evidence of the two roads he claims to be constructing in the state.
Benue people are witnesses to the fact that the government run by Rivers Governor's political party, PDP abandoned 11 roads across Benue State. Governor Ortom has since assumption of office deployed funds and mobilized the contractors back to site. Some of the road projects have already been completed and others are at different stages of completion. Governor Ortom has also awarded six new road contracts in different parts of the state and more are being considered by the State Executive Council for approval inspite of lean resources.
It is therefore ridiculous that Governor Nyesom Wike, a man who is clearly not interested in the development of his state; a man who is believed to be sponsoring thugs and cultists to occupy public offices; a man who has never won a free and fair election; a man who publicly swears with a sword in his hand to slaughter opposition members; a man who has no known antecedent of positive thinking; a man notorious for looting of public funds; a man who, since assumption of office has been on a voyage of destruction of education, health and economic structures built by his predecessor has now become an advocate of development and probity in another state.
Governor Wike's call for the probe of last December's Paris Club refund to Benue is a poor diversionary tactic. It is on record that Governor Samuel Ortom was the first to declare the Paris Club refund to Benue and stated specifically how much the state was expecting many weeks before the funds came in. When the N12.7 billion was released to the state, the Governor made it public including the disbursement for workers' salaries. Governor Wike on the other hand has not made known to Rivers people the amount the state received as the first tranche of the refund. That's what he is expected to have done before calling for probe of the refund in Benue.
Governor Wike's recent interest in affairs of other states including Benue, is a clear manifestation of an idle governor. It is an indication that unlike his counterpart in Benue, Governor Wike has so much time not only to spend planning how to rig the next election, divert public funds but also how to distract busy governors of other states.
But what else does one expect from a governor who has abandoned governance? A quick look at Governor Wike's performance shows the demolition of a market at Mile One Flyover, Port Harcourt without making alternative arrangements for the relocation of the affected traders. Two of the traders died as a result of shock because they were not allowed to move their wares before the demolition.
Examples of abandoned projects under Wike are the Kpobie-Bodo road, Sakpenwa-Bori road dualization, Bonny Jetty modernization, Phase Two of Mile One Market and renovation of 13 General Hospitals in the state. Work has stopped on all the named projects without explanation from a government that receives some of the highest allocations from the federation account.
On corruption, only recently, a joint police panel that investigated violence during the re-run elections in Rivers State, indicted 23 electoral officers of INEC of receiving bribes from Governor Wike to enable the PDP win the polls.
Also, several Supreme Court justices and judicial officers are either facing trial or being investigated for receiving bribes from Governor Wike to influence the judgement of the Apex Court which upheld his election as governor.
Once more, we challenge Governor Wike to publish the evidence that he is constructing two roads in Benue State as he claimed.
That a governor would abandon the provision of critical infrastructure in his state and make sweeping claims of constructing roads in another state without the knowledge of the beneficiaries and regard to the federal structures indeed indicates that Governor Wike needs deliverance from demonic influence that seem to be taking over his senses.

Somebody should enlighten me on what's going between Rivers and Benye States, why would River state be constructing roads in Benue? Abi Gov Wike want to annex Benue like Russia did to Crimea in Ukraine.
I am not a fan of Wike, but Ortom has shown nothing but weakness in the way he had handled the killings of his people by the Fulani Heardmen, he had done nothing to protect them and this is evident in hundreds of agatus already killed. Wike was right to have pointed this out.
Ortom must first stand up as a leader and protect his people, that is his no 1 job as Governor before I can take him more seriously .

ok

Benue state govt should carry their own problem and leave Gov Wike alone to work!
