Security Vs Insecurity Passing The Bulk by KenOne: 3:20pm On Jul 25, 2018
I have being thinking a loud for a very long time as regards the security situation in the country, Rivers state as a case study. I have noticed for a while how Wike usually press mumu bottons of Rivers people definitely i am not among.

In 2014 when some boys were recruited by PDP for 2015 election started causing security unrest in Rivers state Amaechi cried and called on Federal government to do something because the boys were untouchable by security agents because they were working for the powers that be.

Then Wike told Amaechi to sort the security situation in Rivers state and leave the federal government alone that he's the chief security officer of the state. Wike specifically said that Amaechi should admit he has failed in tackling the security challenges in Rivers state. (What a comment by Wike as a minister then)

Early this year precisely January 1st 2018 when Don Wanni killed over 20 worshippers coming back from pass over night at Omoku, immediately after the incident Wike did a broadcast and started blaming the federal government for failing to curtail insecurity in Rivers state. (Remember Wike said Amaechi shouldn't blame federal government for the insecurity in Rivers state in 2014 because he's the chief security officer of the state).

Two weeks after Don Wanni's devilish act, a combine operation of the Army, Police and DSS of the federal government traced Don Wanni and his gang to Enugu where they were killed. Wike went on air for a broadcast and took glory and praised himself, Rivers government saying as chief security officer of the state that he'll make Rivers safe and secure.

After then for like three months Rivers state enjoyed relatively peace and Wike was all over the state praising himself and calling himself chief security officer of the state and bribed all organisations to host events in Rivers just to send a message that Rivers is safe and peaceful.

Now Rivers is witnessing another security challenges and Wike is quick to blame federal government that he's only mere chief security officer but in action and principle he's not.

My question to Wike is why the double standard and hypocrisy? If the state is peaceful you take credit and praise yourself, even go ahead and call yourself chief security officer.

But when the state is faced with security issues you turn around and blame the federal government. Wike please be reminded that if you're buying a company you buy both assets and liabilities.

In 2014 Wike told Amaechi to deal with the security challenges in Rivers state and leave federal government out of it because he's the chief security officer of Rivers state. Why then call on federal government in your own case? Hypocrisy.
