Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says some of his colleagues are only running to Abuja to take photographs with President Muhammadu Buhari, instead of tackling the challenges in their states.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interactive session with some traditional rulers, political leaders, and other stakeholders at the government house in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Wike said the baffling state of insecurity is a clear manifestation of bad leadership.

The governor said instead of some leaders to be bold in speaking against the ills in the nation and sincerely pursue solutions to them, they indulge in sycophancy.

“Nigeria has totally collapsed. Look at today — what happened in Nasarawa and Benue states; how they slaughtered people on the road. See what is happening in Niger state and the APC governor there is crying, saying he has been talking to the federal government but nobody has listened to him. And that Boko Haram has come to take over the state, which is closest to Abuja,” Wike said.

“Look at Kaduna and Imo states; there is insecurity everywhere. The only anger I have with Imo state governor is this: I don’t know how people politicise things.

“Nigeria has a lot of problems and they keep running to the villa everyday to disturb Mr. President, for him to see their faces, pose for photographs and will not allow him to work.

“You know you have crisis at your place; you can’t stay to solve it. But every day, you go to see Mr. President so that the world will know that you’re close to him.”

Wike also criticised governors under the All Progressives Congress (APC) for being insincere with their claims that their party has solved the problems of hunger and unemployment.

According to him, governors should focus on finding solutions to the challenges affecting their states, rather than embark on frequent trips to Abuja.

Very wicked truth

From the wicked Wike

A man who ran from government house to go leave in the Military Barack’s

Just because you can’t see the lifeless mannequin you are now politicizing their visit

BIGKemsey:
Even you, Gov Wike you re our biggest problem in Rivers State. No single employment created since the beginning of ur administration, no good roads outside Port Harcourt. What happened to the 5000 civil service jobs? You re all the same, whether APC or PDP, we are tired of all of this. Demons.

Don't be a big hypocrite...

Wike might be a very tough and stubborn Politician who doesn't mind the consequences of his intending actions, but never you deny the fact that he has done pretty well in some areas in the state.

You're only condemning Wike because of your secret affiliation with the APC.

"Hopefully, you will learn to enjoy eggs without despising the chicken that laid it."

Are you in Rivers State?? What exactly can you say that Gov Wike has done for the people of Rivers State?. Except Obio-akpor LGA, where else have you been to in the state? Do you know the rate of joblessness amongst youths in the state? What do you even know, if not to stay on nairaland and type rubbish because you know English language. And point of correction, I am more PDP than you. But am too sound to compromise standard for mere party affiliation. Please take your BACKWARDNESS to the North
