Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday knocked his Ebonyi State counterpart, Dave Umahi, who said that God will give Nigeria a president “who has a good heart like President Muhammadu Buhari for the good of this country” in 2023.

Umahi had made the statement on Monday while addressing State House correspondents after meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at Aso Villa in Abuja.

But speaking on Wednesday, Wike, in a veiled reference to Umahi, said that his colleague had lied, adding that the President himself knows that God won’t give the country another leader like him in 2023.

The governor spoke at a stakeholders’ meeting in Port Harcourt, the state capital, while addressing business owners in the state on the controversy around Value Added Tax.

Wike, who lamented the injustice in the country under Buhari and the worsening security situation, insisted that business owners in the oil-rich state must begin VAT remittances to the state government beginning September.

The governor said Rivers generated N15bn in June 2021 but got N4.7bn while “Kano produced N2.8bn in June but Kano also got N2.8bn. Sometimes you don’t want to believe these things exist”.

“I said what has gone wrong with him? You mean there shouldn’t be (a) psychiatric check on the governor? Sycophancy.

“And you know that President knows that you are telling lies to him. He (Buhari) knows.

“It is unfortunate. May God help us.”

Wike and Umahi have been at loggerheads since the latter’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress in November 2020.

Why do these politicians like to massage ego of PMB for their selfish gains? How could DU say that? Can he look himself in the mirror and repeat that without cringing from deep within?

I don't like NEW's politics since the days of GEJ. However, NEW has been serving it 'hot...hot' like akara iya Biliki.

Here is the lost voice of the opposition party.

Wike the real general even buhari and zombies know he is bad luck and calamity we prayin not to have again.

2 strong headed governors

How can you wish another Bubu for Nigerians after all the pains we are still going through with.

Whoever is supplying that Dave drugs shud pls change it.

Buhari is a disaster that can never happened again in Nigeria. Dave Umahi should know that and digest it in his mind.

Just because of his foolishness of political ambition, he's romancing Buhari - Nigerian nightmare.

Umahi! I am coming for you...

They're all bandit simple

Sometimes whn dis governors or so-called politicians talk, I wonder if they truly represent d mind nd heart of d people or they jst speak 4 dia selfish gains nd interest. Buhari is a heavy pleague to everybdy in dis country, and we dnt wish to hv anybdy like him again, never ever. God 4bid affliction shud return d second time.

Is it someone like the Otueke drunken master that God should give us?

Yeye man always speaking rubbish
