In a surprising move that has sparked widespread reactions, the Chairman of a Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State recently removed the name of former Governor Nyesom Wike from a council building. This development has stirred considerable controversy and debate within the political landscape of the state.

The decision, which was captured in a viral video, shows the chairman overseeing the removal of Wike’s name from the building’s facade. The act has been interpreted by many as a significant political statement, highlighting underlying tensions within the state’s political hierarchy.

Nyesom Wike, who served as the Governor of Rivers State from 2015 to 2023, has been a prominent figure in the state’s politics. His tenure was marked by numerous infrastructure projects and a robust approach to governance. The former governor’s name being emblazoned on various public buildings was seen as a tribute to his contributions.

However, the recent action by the LGA chairman suggests a shift in local political dynamics. While some residents and political analysts view the removal as a necessary step towards depersonalizing public structures, others see it as an act of disrespect towards the former governor’s legacy.

The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, shows mixed reactions from the public. Supporters of the chairman commend the move as a step towards ensuring that public buildings reflect the collective identity of the people rather than individual politicians. On the other hand, supporters of Wike decry the action as an unnecessary political vendetta.

This event has also raised questions about the broader implications for political unity and governance in Rivers State. As the state looks towards future elections, actions such as these could either be seen as a move towards greater political transparency or as deepening existing divisions.

In conclusion, the removal of Nyesom Wike’s name from the council building in Rivers State underscores the complex and often contentious nature of political legacies. It remains to be seen how this decision will influence the local political climate and what it means for the future of governance in the region. As the debate continues, the residents of Rivers State will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the unfolding events. More details in the video

Know when to leave the stage

Read no meaning to it. Chijioke is of no substance. No right thinking individual would take the action of removing an edifice named after an individual who has governed the LGA before. Wike is a former chairman of Obio Akpor LGA. He never named the edifice after himself. It was a successive chairman that built it and named after him.
Has Chijioke reasoned that an edifice might be named after him?
Has he also reasoned the same treatment might be meted out to him?

Wike's name was removed because he is no more the governor of Rivers state.

When would his supporters get over his exit as Rivers state governor?

The judgement that removed Omehia never considered him a governor in Rivers. Do away with sentiment.

With the actions of Wike lately has shown that he does not deserve all that, he did it to Celestine Omehia, and even went has far as getting a court judgement to back it up, to remove his name as a former gov, because of their support of Atiku

Next Rivers election go brutal

Wike cleared Celestine omehia as a valid Governor of the state thru the state assembly, it was after Celestine omehia supported Atiku's presidential ambition against Wike, Wike had to use the same assembly he made to clear Celestine's name as governor to also remove his name as governor of the state.
Wike is a fool, he wants everyone to be his puppet ...

Just like you were his puppets, when he was at loggerheads with Rotimi Amaechi & President Buhari?

Just is to prove the state isn't his property, and since he has decided to disrespect himself by sending thugs to damage state complex he won't be respected anymore.
No honor for a drunkard....

Wike has fallen. Take it or leave it

He will be celebrated in eternity.

Calm down.. When Wike renamed a road named after Amaechi in 2016.. Same Wike gave Omehia all the benefits of a former Governor and later remove all those benefits.

Me support Wike?

Go thru my post from 2015 till date

WIke betrayed his people… that is why he is looking so sickly and frail…


They never learn that Fulani will not trust those who betray their people

..you think river state is like your region where puppets remain puppets for the rest of their lives..

..river indigens will continue to be at loggerheads with any fool that wsnts to make the state subservient to lower breeds of animals..Just as Amaechi tried to no avail to sell river state to poo'hari & make them puppets to ruga mentality..

..the indigens stood by wike..cos he protectd the state from external vultures..

..& since wicked wike as turned to one of those who wants to make the state play second fiddle to emilokan lower bteeds..the indigens of river are giving him thesame amaechi treatment..

..if sim tries that after his tenure or during..be rest assured thesame treatment will be melted out to him..

..this is River state..where ruggedity is a way of life..second fiddle is not entertained here nor godfatherism..

..take that to your region where you accept slavery from a man & can never be at loggerheads to your godfatherism..

. Know your place in the scheme of things..
