As earlier posted on this forum concerning Governor Wike's interest in contesting for president, I decided to look at some of his weaknesses and strength as Rivers State Governor for about 7 years in office from a lame man's perspective.

Wike came to power in 2015 and has done more worst to Rivers than any previous administration.
His WEAKNESS:

1. Stopped overseas scholarship introduced by his predecessor (Amaechi), he refused to allow the set at that time to finish, exerting pains and frustration to the students and their parents who does not have money.

2. He closed down Rivers State sustainable development agency(RSSDA) who were in-charge of the overseas scholarship.

3. He closed down Songhai Farm that was working in full capacity, almost all kind of agricultural products were been produced there, including rearing of cattle.

4. He closed down Buguma Fish Farm

5. He abandoned banana plantation

6. He closed down a world class Ambassador Nne Korubo Modern secondary built built by his predecessor where Indians and Nigerian worked. The beneficiaries (students) only needed to pass their exams, no fees were paid with world class learning/teaching materials and environment.

7. He sacked all the securities, gardeners, cleaners, computer instructors in all modern public primary schools employed by his predecessor ( thousands lost their jobs).

8. He refused to confirm unconfirmed lecturers in Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic and dropped them.

9. No employment in Rivers State civil service and most importantly, education and health sector, teachers retires every month and no replacement, leaving public schools in the state with less man power, some don't have up to two teachers at present.

10. Stopped the provision of school uniform, books, bags, shoes, etc to primary schools in the state initiated by his predecessor.

11. Not concerned with free education he met, making public schools to function by proxy, pupils and students are made to pay because the schools can't run without fund.

12. For close to 7 years in his administration, no promotion of civil servants, withheld the payment of gratuity to retirees, most pensioners are living in pains and despair.

13. Greater Port Harcourt project only exist on paper, the prospective project was abandoned

*The list is .............

His STRENGTH:

1. Construction of Over head bridges AKA flyovers

2. Regular payment of wokers salaries

3. Construction of roads

I stand to be corrected.

Wike na Tyrant.
Oil money don scatter him brain

The only issue I honestly have with Wike is that he talks too much.
No great leader talks at the least provocation and empties his chest into the air anyhow.

Else every other weakness you mentioned above is politically conceived. My blunt opinion.

Another Weakness he will not President

The major weakness he has is that he talks too much and he doesn't talk like some who can become president of a complex state like Nigeria.

I mean he's been a working governor for the people his state, but his take on some national issues has shown he won't unite the country. Whichever party gives him party tickeg will suffer massive defeat in places like the north.

His comments on Northerners in general has not portrayed him as someone who would treat all regions equally ( just like Buhari he has always criticised). His oppositions just need to weaponise some of his old videos where he made uncomplimentary remarks about Northerners and he will lose massive votes in the northern parts of the country.

The truth is anybody that wants to be president of a complex state like Nigeria with so much diversity does not need to be seen as putting a side of the country ahead of the other ( even of its just going to be a chrade/packaging like in the case of Buhari during 2015 elections)....You must portray urself and all loving like Osinbajo has been doing; paying lip service to the good side of each geopolitical zone.

If other weaknesses are politically conceived, could you outrightly oppose any with fact?

Again, if I wasn't objective, I wouldn't have mentioned areas where he is trying. Those points up there are cogent and real fact, none is ill conceived.
