Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has claimed that security in the country degenerated seriously because the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government chose to play politics with the security challenge.

Wike said this at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, when the Governing Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) paid him a courtesy visit.

According to the Governor, when Rivers state was battling with issues such as kidnappings, the FG plotted to declare a state of emergency in the state, instead of addressing the security challenges.

“The Federal Government politicised the issue of security in Rivers State at a time when her intervention was required.

“That is why the whole country has been engulfed by insecurity.

“Every day you hear (about) people being killed like chickens. In Taraba, Plateau, Kogi, Benue, Zamfara, Kwara, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Yobe and Borno States,” Wike said.

Governor Wike also spoke about the armed robbery incident in Offa, Kwara State where up to 30 persons were reportedly killed.

He added: “After 50 persons were murdered in cold blood, the very next day, the authorities claimed that 7 persons have been arrested. If the security agencies have the capacity to arrest almost immediately, why not stop the killings?”

The governor said the country had failed to uphold the rule of law, conduct credible elections and institute good governance.

To help reverse the trend, he called on professionals to show interest in political developments in the country, to ensure that the APC-led Federal Government returns to the right track.

He said every profession had a role to play in the development of the country, especially speaking out against the destruction of the tenets of the rule of law.

“If there is no rule of law, it negatively affects the professions. Professionals can no longer stand aloof while the country degenerates,” Governor Wike said.

I agree with some of the things he said, he is spot on, but the rest, no. Jonathan was worse than buhari when it comes to security, as it was under Jonathan Boko Haram bombed the In embassy, and hold sway in the north, while his goons were busy siphoning Nigeria's wealth.

Sorry for this county. Wike cannot talk about rule of law. His only political version is violence. There is no alternative to violence as long as Wike is concern.
Wike is worst than Buhari
Wike is in the class of Shakau
The people of Onelga know the open secret
Ameachi, you are lucky that Jonathan lost the 2015 election. By now, Wicked would have thrown your carcass to wild animals. But God pass him

So you think the bombing of UN office is a yardstick to determine if Nigeria is more secure ? Why dont you tell us what Buhari has done to stop Boko Haram from bombing in Abuja? If they want to bomb in Abuja they will
