Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has described the Federal Government as a failure.

Wike said the President Muhammadu Buhari administration should admit it has failed in the security of lives and property in Nigeria.

The Governor was reacting to the massacre of Benue state people by Fulani herdsmen.

He was in the state to commensurate with the government and people of the state over the death of over 100 persons killed by the herdsmen.

Wike also faulted the statement by the Police spokesman who called the Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom ‘a drowning man’.

He described the statement as an “insult on person elected by people.”

“I have instructed the Governors Forum to react to that statement made by the Force spokesperson.

“It’s an insult that persons elected by their people would be referred to as ‘drowning.’

“It’s only in this our democracy that you can hear that kind of statement.”

“The problem I have is that when we see issues that affect the nation, we play party politics with them. We should go beyond party politics. It doesn’t matter whether the governor is a PDP governor or APC governor.”

Benue killings

Wike encouraged Benue residents to start defending themselves and to also sleep with one eye closed.

The Governor said he had foreseen the problems facing the country, which is why he has been “shouting out about the impunity of the present administration.”

“I was shouting this, but nobody believed it. Now it is in Benue…

“What I’m saying is that when a robber comes to your house and knocks at your door and you say ‘God help me,’you must help yourself first.

“They have inflicted serious injury on Benue, many have been turned into orphans, others into widows.

“Let the leaders admit their failure. Tell Mr. President that what is going on in this county is not acceptable.

You know everybody would want to be the favourite child to Mr. President; but for me, I always speak the truth. My salvation will come from God and not from man”, Wike said.

In response, Ortom thanked Wike and the people of Rivers State for the show of friendship.

He also stressed that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris should resign for allegedly “failing in his responsibilities to arrest those already identified as behind the Benue attacks.”

The IGP had urged the Benue government to suspend its anti-grazing which, according to him, is the cause of the Fulani herdsmen crisis in the state.

But Ortom, who insisted that there is no going back on the law, accused the police boss of incompetence.

The Governor alleged that Ibrahim has ignored calls by the Federal Government to have the killer-herdsmen in the state arrested.

On January 11, 2018, the Benue government held a mass burial for 73 people killed by the herdsmen in the state.

The herdsmen first struck Guma and Logo Local Government Area of Benue between Sunday, December 31, 2017, and Tuesday, January 2, 2018, killing 50 people.

In another attack on Tombu village of Logo LGA on January 6, the herdsmen killed 11 other persons

As at January 8, Governor Ortom’s Chief Press Secretary, Terve Akase put the death toll at 71.

A child that failed a class must repeat the class, Buhari must repeat in 2019!

Failure is even an understatement.

His performance is an insult to all failures.

Buhari has failed if he likes he should do fasting for forty days and forty night he is still going back to daura

a message to the ppl of daura please start killing cows and preparing for a homecoming becos come 2019 ur son is coming home

Has failed totally ... still falling deeper through depths of failure unreached b4 now ... @ terminal velocity too. Wow ...

Then u go wait till he die to admit

Wike you're a better man compared to the vegetable Fulani terrorist in asorock. We in the south will make sure the Fulani terrorists pay dearly if they ever miss their way and venture here with their stupidity.

And singing Baba oyoyo...

Even a toddler knows that

Lies

Buhari's problem is harboring too much hate on the inside reason why he's a perpetual failure.

Why is Wike crying more than the bereaved!..it appears he's yet to get over the death of Don Wayne!

buhari is weak health wise but i believe he could do better if he was healthy

Truth be told,buhari failed Nigerians.especially those who voted him.

No mind am, mumu

Ipob yoots will cry blood next year, when Buhari is sworn in for the 2nd Tenure..

Wike and Fayose will be dealt with accordingly starting from this year.

Keep waiting

Despite the obvious fact that buhari has failed woefully.
If the opposition doesn't take care ,buhari will win again in 2019.

F

Abi?

a total failure for that matter

Buhari is EVIL

Who is Buhari again?
I only know one that was a monumental failure in 1983-85, which made Nigerians say "never again".

Wike iS the worst governor rivers has ever had

Nwodosis:
A child that failed a class must repeat the class, Buhari must repeat in 2019!

Have you heard of voluntary withdrawal.
Though might not be voluntary but the person is withdrawn from school

I am just imagining how broke ur ass will be from next year,hope u are already saving??collect all ur entitlements as a BMC new recruit this year o.make dem no do u wayo d way dem do the people wey vote dem 419

The only way buhari can be defeated is by the opposition feilding just a single formidable northern candidate,if pdp decides not to give atiku the ticket,most likely he will leave to another party and with obj new party coming up ,that means the nation will be having 3 strong opposition parties ,it will be a jolly easy ride for buhari. A very good example is what happened in oyo state last gubernatorial elections
