Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has
insisted that the demolition of the two
hotels in Eleme Local Government Area of
the state was done in line with extant laws,
saying the state government has done no
wrong.

The governor gave this notion while
speaking during the state-wide broadcast on
Sunday night.

Wike explained that one of the owners of
the hotels unleashed thugs to attack
members of the state task force that went
to enforce the law against their continued
operations.

The governor added that most of the task
force members sustained severe head
injuries from the attack.

He said, “We acted against the hotelier
because apart from using the facility to
jeopardise the lives of our citizens in
violation of the extant law, the owner
audaciously unleashed thugs led by the
Eleme Local Government Youth Leader of
the Peoples Democratic Party and inflicted
severe injuries on our task force members,
who went to enforce the law against the
continued operation of the hotel.

“We’ve done no wrong as all our actions
were taken in good faith and justified by,
under and within the purview of the
Executive Orders, which have neither been
challenged nor set aside by any competent
court of law.

“Therefore, while we welcome genuine
criticisms directed towards strengthening
our intervention measures, it is no use
taking issues with uninformed critics and
social media legal practitioners.

“Granted that we may not have totally
achieved our targets, but we are convinced
that, so far, the lockdown and the other
measures have impacted greatly in
containing and preventing the onslaught of
the pandemic on Rivers State.”

Wike weak me

There is no justification for his action. The offence was never a criminal offence . His action showed that he lack common composure to be a leader. The demolition of that hotel was outrageous, provocative, barbaric , callous, heartless , senseless and oppressive in nature.
Wike is a corporate tout

I am not Suprised!

Even though Demolition was quite harsh

I knew there must be Cogent Reasons for doing that!

Damage control hmmm. Governor, always think for some days on threat said out of anger before action. It will limit all this backslash n regrets.
