The OP poorly captured what Wike exposed about deep corruption and executive recklessness among Nigerian politicians using NDDC as a case model.

Useless people

J2381:
It's nice knowing this people have a sense of humour. However one have to wonder when did animals start possessing a sense of humour.

Kind of below the dignity of ppl in high positions. Just my thoughts.

Not a fan of Wike ... But what Akpabio did was unnecessary and petty

as if Wike himself is not part of executive recklessness

Nothing to see here

Okay

contigiency:
I watched it and was surprised how Wike could not even respect the presence of the vice president, but was there issuing threats like a motor pack tout.

It's normal for RIVERS STATE to have such Governors....

Two comedians

Wike Is An Old Timd Barron.

in the next two years u won't recognize that barracks they will turn it to dump site

J2381:
Very hilarious. A mind boggling question for the NDDC minister to answer there. "Where is his own 2.5 billion?".

But Wike should be careful with the way he issues threats. How can he say he will stop the minister from using that road if he (Wike) completes it.

Na you Dey help am fear that guy nor send anybody.

Nackdemall:
If Buhari as a President is Useless , What about you as an ordinary citizen ?
What is the level of your Uselessness ?

Being in charge doesn't mean you are not useless. It also doesn't stand that a common citizen will be more useless than a post-holding citizen. Many political appointees are more useless than you are but your brain is useless to you if you can not comprehend that.

I come in Peace

They're all together, forget the pdp/apc stuff.
Akpabio was a gov when wike was a minister, now wike is the gov and akpabio is the minister.....

Don't fight for them cos they're both eating from the treasury

Grace001:
They are all in the same class...

Oppressors

A good way to look at it

This is called political evangelism

Lol. You want respect but you don't respect the feelings of the masses as VP, always pretending all is well and issuing statements like: nija is one, nija is reaching her full potentials etc
Abeg leave this politicians to enjoy their banter they are same

Exactly. People will not talk about this because they can die for their corrupt politicians.

NDDC and the Ministry of Niger Delta are the most corrupt institutions in Nigeria. They go about undertaking fake and Phantom projects for people to see (eye service). While they owe their contractors and Landlords (in state branches) several millions of Naira, in fact some of the landlord have not received rents from the ministry for over five years. Some of their landlords are dead because of lack of funds for medical treatment while some still remain in hospital hanging on to life. Their Directors within the organisation cart away funds for payment of their contractual and rent obligations in the hope to frustrate the landlords, knowing fully well that the legal system in Nigeria is equally as corrupt and can be manipulated to ensure that cases brought could last several years. A big shame to Nigeria and all the so called leaders

Wisecracks, Banters, Laughter As Buhari Commissions Police Barracks By Etim Etim

A packed audience of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Inspector General of Police, ministers, National Assembly members, the Interim Administrator of NDDC and directors, senior police and government officials, as well as religious and traditional leaders cracked up in laughter yesterday as Gov. Nyesom Wike and Senator Godswill Akpabio exchanged banters publicly at the commissioning of a police barracks in Omagwa, Port Harcourt.

The complex was built and donated by the Niger Delta Development Commission to the Special Protection Unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

Ordinary folks and community members, not used to such high-profile hilarity, could not contain their excitement. Even before the two men went up the podium to make their speeches, I could tell from my vantage position that their conversations were largely filled with some repartees, and Prof Osinbajo, seated between them, was enjoying their jokes.

Senator Akapbio started it all in his speech, saying that although Gov Wike were doing well as a governor; he would not acknowledge it publicly, "because he is not a member of APC." (Laughs.) Then he added, ‘’I will not even join the bandwagon of those calling for the governor to join APC. We have enough troubles in our party already’." (More laughter.)

Soon after, the governor had his turn. ‘’I thought we came here to commission this beautiful complex. I did not know that the minister was planning to turn the event into a political arena." (More laughter. Applause.)

The governor was not done. ‘’I cannot leave a place where I am having malaria to where I will get cancer," he continued, in an apparent reference to calls for him to join APC. The audience, led by Vice President Osinbajo, doubled up in more laughter.

Gov. Wike commended NDDC for completing the barracks and handing over to the police. ‘’I don’t know who leaked my secret plans to NDDC. Just seven months ago, I was planning to take over this place and complete it. But apparently the Commission got a hint of my plan and quickly mobilized contractors to site’," he joked.

The governor praised the Commission for a good job done, essentially returning the compliments which its chief executive, Mr Efiong Akwa, had paid him in his welcome remarks.

We had thought that the banters were all over until Prof Osinbanjo got on to the podium to read President Buhari’s speech. ‘’Well’’, the Vice President started with a smile, ‘’I will eventually settle the controversy between the governor and the minister at a later date…’’. The crowd roared.

The executive conviviality beamed live on national television was a clear indication that despite political differences, our leaders do share a good dose of friendliness. ‘’But we ordinary folks take our differences to the extreme. It should not be’’, a middle-aged man who sat by me said just before the police band struck the first note of the National Anthem to close the day's events.

omowolewa:
Can't wait for Wike to join APC

Didn't you hear wike? He cannot leave where there is maleria to where he will be exposed to cancer. Cancer kills.

Likes for WIKE share for Akpabio

Wicked wike took Akpabio to the cleaner on this one
Strong man

Akpabio said he will not join other to invite wike to APC meanings he sees wike as a troublemaker.
But why is wike always issuing threat like Adolf Hitler?

Are you implying that Rivers people are touts

What is wrong with You?

Did You not hear what the minister said to Wike in the presence of the vice president?

In his speech(wike) said Akpabio should return back to his formal party PDP,that it was pdp that made him what he is today.
