The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, says Governor Nyesom Wike has turned himself into a “Father Christmas” who shares money at will”, just as the party expressed worry over what it described as the Governor’s penchant for alleged misappropriation of Public funds.

The APC added that it has confirmed that Governor Nyesom Wike intends to clear salaries owed Civil Servants in Ekiti state.

APC in a statement obtained by DAILY POST and signed by its spokesperson, Chris Finebone claimed that governor Wike, has concluded plans to pay off six months’ salary arrears the government of Ekiti State is owing its workers ahead of the forth coming governorship election in that state.

Finebone says the planned clearance of salaries owed by Fayose comes against a decaying secretariat complex where Rivers State civil servants endure untold inconveniences every working day.

According to the statement, “Indeed, it comes against the suffering of pensioners owed several months of gratuity and pension. Paradoxically, even political appointees of Gov. Wike are enduring untold hardship, suffering and smiling except for the select cabal popularly referred to as Cardinals.

“The APC recalls that after the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2015 presidential elections, Gov. Nyesom Wike effectively took over control of the party nationally and has since been spending billions of naira belonging to Rivers taxpayers to sustain the PDP.

“Sadly, we recall that Gov. Wike spent several billions of naira to hold an ill-fated national convention of the party in Port Harcourt in May, 2016. Afterwards, Wike single-handedly sustained the PDP with billions of naira belonging to Rivers people throughout the period the party was under the leadership of Markarfi-led caretaker committee.

“Gov. Wike it was who used the resources of Rivers State to fund the protracted legal tussle between the caretaker committee and its factional group led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.

“Following the victory of the Makarfi-led caretaker committee at the Supreme Court, Gov. Wike, again, bankrolled the national convention of the party that followed in 2017 with Rivers State commonwealth.

“This culminated in Wike decimating and silencing the South-West and other leaders in PDP to successfully capture the national structure of PDP by installing his acolyte and stooge, Prince Uche Secondus as the party’s national chairman.

“Quite sadly, we note that the decision of Gov. Wike to pay outstanding six months salaries owed to Ekiti State civil servants is coming as part of Wike’s inordinate desire to maintain his position as the leading financier and national leader of PDP.

“Whereas other PDP governors are busy developing their states and bettering the standard of living of their people, Gov Wike remains consumed by the obscene and inordinate craving to continue as the little god of PDP.

“While no one begrudges him the pursuit of his vane glory, the bitter truth is that Gov Wike is fritting away resources that should be channelled at bettering the lot of the ordinary Rivers people.

“We find it hard to believe that a governor that came into office and immediately discontinued and returned Rivers youths on overseas scholarship on account of lack of funds, finds it convenient to playFather Christmas for purely political reasons.

We ask: why is it that other PDP governors of equally oil-rich Akwa Ibom and Delta States are not throwing the commonwealth of their people at sustaining and controlling the PDP?

“Again, we recall that in his bid to take advantage of the killings in Benue State some months ago, Gov. Wike doled out N500m to Benue State with the sole aim of luring Governor Ortom to join the PDP.

“The APC calls on Rivers people to protest the decision of Gov. Nyesom Wike to, once again, embark on this senseless and atrocious decision to spend billions of naira belonging to Rivers people to pay six months outstanding salaries of Ekiti State civil servants while the workers and people of Rivers State are suffering poverty, indignities and penury.”

Wike, pay River state workers , then pay Ekiti state workers if you can

Nothing satisfies Nigerians. Even brotherly love.

What!!!
When did Rivers State become a Country that their Governor is trying offset another state Debt.?

Fools. Didn't rotimi Amaechi single handedly fund APC presidential campaign in 2015?
Foolish hypocrites

Let brotherly love continue

The way Nigerians play politics is the reason our country will remain the way it is...

Opposition be heating the polity, the government in power be acting denial games.

The citizens be reacting like chlorine,

The elite be laughing at our stupidity


The cycle continues

APC Rivers is just being jittery.. Wike is not as stupid as Ameachi that foolishly paid the 8 months salary that Aregbesola was owing Osun workers

It is a welcome development if true. What matters to me is for my Ekiti people to be paid.

Ok

If only Ambode could help Aregbesola with his century of non payment of salaries, we will be happy..

When you want to describe APC stupidity and unprecedented cluelessness..

Fear APC!

They can even tell you the sex of your unborn child

Its obviously a deceit..

isorite.EFCC,over and out

Buhari has become a hypnotist....Some sophisticated morons were hypnotised with GCFR to Abiola

So Fayose is now a beggar niyen ooo. This is what we call fine bara.

Should have rather Pay the State debt instead

First as a governor, Amechi used your money to enthrone Buhari. Now as governor, Wike used your money to repair Benue roads and is planning to use it to pay Ekiti state salaries. Rivers people dat pesin wey dey do una Governors no try at all!

If he has the money, let him go ahead.

The real gainers are actually state civil servants who are owed several months salary, yet their governor just goes about,nagging.

If the people of Rivers are not complaining, wetin conern APC dia?

Afterall, same way they said Amaechi financed presidential election is thesame way Wike has become PDP's adopted father.

Infact, Wike is presently the owner of PDP so why shouldn't he pay their debts?

if he dare carry rivers money go afonja land. tunda go fire am
