"Leave Governor Mbah Alone And Stay Away From Enugu" - Ezediuto Warns FCT Minister, Wike


By Wisdom Nwedene, Enugu State

The Vice Chairman of Awgu local government area of Enugu State, Dr Stanley Ezediuto has blasted the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr Nyesom Wike over the minister's invectives at the governor of Enugu State, Barr Peter Mbah.

Wike in his routine live media chat with the press two days ago accused the Enugu's Governor Mbah of trying to hijack the structure of the PDP in the Southeast whereas he doesn't have the capacity to lead the party.

He accused the governor of overseeing a PDP that was unable to present any gubernatorial aspirant in Anambra ahead of the state's November, 2025 governorship election, calling him a paperweight power grabber. He also accused the governor of being a half-baked lawyer.

In a swift reaction to the diatribe, the deputy chairman of Awgu local government area of Enugu State, Stanley Ezediuto, PhD told the FCT minister to draw a line between politics and leadership as Mbah, according to him falls short of the gutter attributes he described him in. In a statement released to newsmen in Enugu on Friday, and obtained by our correspondent reporter, Dr Ezediuto warned the Rivers former governor to keep a clean distance from Enugu and mind his business of bitter politics, telling him that he should not always merry in dictatorship as it was obviously becoming emblematic of him.

The statement reads:

"Ordinarily, I'd not have done this rejoinder, but it'd be sad that a piece of humongous accusation as huge as the one from the former governor and senior minister of the federation isn't replied accordingly. As we all know, Nyesom Wike's stock-in-trade has been to cast aspersions at any leader that resists his dictatorial advances and the drive to control everyone including those he should be under their socioeconomic and political tutelage. This kind of character is obnoxious and should not be exhibited around the governor of Enugu whose track records over the years in corporate engagement and politics are ones of sterling vestiges on the sand of time. Wike should draw his boundaries and focus on Rivers State alone where he wants to reign supreme as lord of the flies. His character isn't welcomed in Enugu. We're a state of high moral compass and wouldn't want our leader to be captured in the macabre dance of another supposed leader who wants to rule over a conquered territory.

"Come to think of it, wasn't Gov. Mbah supposed to be the organic leader of the PDP in the Southeast as the only governor of the party in the zone? Was it supposed to be contested in the first place? This is if he's by any measure trying to assert such structural control in the party in the zone. Barr Peter Mbah is coming from the private sector. He knows and understands the principles of fiscal prudence and people- driven leadership. He's not like a Nyesom Wike whose only source of livelihood is politics. Accusing the governor of not spending money lavishly on the PDP is nothing but a confirmation of the fact that the governor is prudent with public spending. He's not like a Nyesom Wike who spends imprudently what doesn't belong to him alone. PDP didn't sell its governorship form in Anambra because of the friction in the party at the national. Who'd like to waste his money on gubernatorial screening form when the office of the National Secretary is being dragged like a power generator set? This is the singular reason the party didn't sell any governorship form in Anambra, not what Wike is alleging against Gov. Peter Mbah. Wike we all know caused the crisis rocking the PDP today, so, he should be held responsible for such infractions now eating deep into the flesh of the party. Wike's inordinate quest to hold PDP in his pockets is why PDP is tremulous.

"It's very shameful to hear Wike put a question mark on the qualification of Gov. Mbah as a fully certified lawyer in Nigeria. It's on record that Wike himself as a lawyer hasn't won any case in court as a counsel. It maybe this is why he has been disobeying court orders. Wike is a product of PDP and public patrimony from scratch. He owes PDP unquantifiable gratitude for making him the person he is today in politics. He should not be fighting the party and its leaders. If he's a lawyer by nomenclature, he should not think that Peter Mbah is a novice in the legal profession. That he decided to go into business isn't a reason to question his knowledge in legal practice. Mr Nyesom Wike should tell the public his track records in law practice. If he can't, he should keep quiet and never dare talk to a working and productive governor like Peter Mbah in the manner he was captured doing yesterday. Gov. Mbah isn't a drunk, neither is he intoxicated by power. He believes in due process and respect for the rule of law, unlike one Nyesom Wike who has reputation for double standard and disobedience to court orders. These being said, it's instructive that he keeps a distance from Enugu as the people of the state wouldn't romance him with silence the next time he attempts to talk to their governor in the manner he did two days ago."

"In summary, Nyesom Wike should not attempt to extend his political madness to the Coal City State. It's impolitic for him to attack a governor in the manner he has done who has never joined issues with him. In Enugu, we respect hierarchy and good governance. We're not conquered people as our governor isn't an emperor like himself that wants to be aquatic and terrestrial at the same time. So, Mr Wike, do not come around Enugu with your political madness not to talk of Peter Mbah with your vile and uncoordinated voluptuosity. We won't take it from you, please."

Racoon:
Wike wants to extends his power drunk arrogance to Enugu now? See as he insults people @ will.

LagosOrigin:
What's Wike problem if I may ask . The idiot is so power drunk that he disrespect everyone at will including those that made him who he is today . I hope he doesn't die of HBP with the way he's going about this politics.

Celepope:
Sentiment aside, Wike is right. As the leader of the party in the South East zone, what stops the Governor from purchasing a ticket for a candidate in Anambra and also see to it that the candidate is well supported by other PDP state Governors. If not that he is the only PDP Governor in the SE, he ought to have been relieved of his position as the Leader of the party in that region.

What stupid criticism? You better warn wike o!! The ibos may look more peaceful than ijaws but we are far more deadly... let him be guided!!

“People like Chief Sara-Igbe, one of the worst persons you can ever think of. One of the political merchants. I know them. King Diete-Spiff, whom I respected, went to Government House. Look at the statement he made. ‘I’m an Ijaw man. You’re an Ijaw man. Call us, we’ll be with you’.

“An elder statesman would go and make such a statement? Now you are the same person coming again now to go and meet Mr. President to intervene. Intervene what? Mr. President that has no right? Mr. President that he took to court, that he has no power to intervene?
