STOP ALLOCATING SOLDIERS TO POLITICIANS , GOVERNOR WIKE  TELLS ARMY HIGH COMMAND

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has urged the Army High Command  to desist from posting battalions of soldiers to politicians, saying it is counter-productive  and a threat to national security.

The governor said that the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Buratai should go beyond complaining that politicians are hobnobing with soldiers and take action to check the disturbing trend.

Speaking during the flag off of the construction of the Old Aba Road by Mbano junction in Oyigbo Local Government Area on Wednesday , Governor Wike said all over the world, only the Commander-in-Chief has soldiers guarding him.

He regretted that  in Nigeria, the authorities  have made it a practice  to allocate soldiers to politicians  in the good books of the Federal Government, with such soldiers used for undemocratic actions against the people.

He said: "Who are those approving soldiers battalions of soldiers to politicians?  If they don't want soldiers to follow politicians, they should stop giving soldiers to politicians.

"It is only in Nigeria that soldiers follow politicians.  They should stop soldiers from being security details   to politicians.  Somebody  comes home and they will give him battalions of soldiers and they say soldiers should not hobnob with politicians.

"All over the world, it is only the commander-in-chief that is allowed to use soldiers. But here, you see soldiers following  politicians everywhere ".

On the construction of Old Aba Road by Mbano Junction in Oyigbo Local Government Area , the governor assured the people of the area that the road will be completed on schedule.

He added that the Old Market Road to  Afam will be awarded and constructed by his administration  in Oyigbo Local Government Area.

He said  since the APC Federal Government has refused to complete the East West Road, his administration will continue  to develop  alternative  routes to lubricate  the Rivers economy.

He said that his performance  has silenced the APC, urging the people of the state to turn out enmasse  for the voter registration, so that they can vote out failed politicians.

In his remarks, Works Commissioner, Mr Iheanyichuwu Bathuel said that Old Aba Road by Mbano junction is a critical  economic  road that connects neighbouring  states.

Also speaking, Caretaker Committee Chairman of Oyigbo Local Government Area, Dr Gbali Chisom lauded Governor Wike  for commencing the construction of the road.

Highpoint of the road flag off was the presentation of gifts to the Rivers State Governor by the political leader of Oyigbo, Ambassador Desmond Akawor 

Simeon Nwakaudu,

Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor, Electronic Media.

Wike is fixing old Aba road Oyigbo! I hope it's for real this time. And if it is Wike has my respect and loyalty for the rest of my life.. That's a federal road that was abandoned for nearly 15 years! Yes in 2003, when I attended primary school along that road it was already a bloody shit hole! Exactly why I think we have no need for "central govt" with absolute powers and control of all the resources. The truth is the states even despite corruption would fare far better on their own if they controlled their resources.

Our problem isn't about APC or PDP; it's about failed govt structure
