Wike On Insecurity: Governors Only Running To Abuja To Take Photos With Buhari

Says Nigeria has collapsed under APC

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has said the baffling state of
insecurity and unchallenged killings of citizens by outlaws in
parts of the country was a manifestation of bad leadership.

He said it was obvious to those who threw caution to the wind to
foist such bad leadership that Nigeria had collapsed.

Wike, in a statement on Tuesday by his Special Assistant Media,
Kelvin Ebiri, made the assertion when he had an interactive session
with traditional rulers, political and opinion leaders of Andoni
nationality at Government House, Port Harcourt.

The Governor said instead of leaders to be bold to speak against
the ills in the land and sincerely pursue solutions to them, they
indulge in sycophancy.

He said: “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.”

The Governor said when he raised the alarm of the looming danger
of insecurity, it was politicised by some persons in the
opposition, who dismissed it as mere politics.

But he said states controlled by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) were the worst hit.

He 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.”

The Governor castigated APC governors for claiming their party
had solved the problems of hunger and unemployment, saying they
could barely stay in their states to provide governance for those
who elected them.

He said: “Nigeria has a lot of problems and they keep running to
the Villa every day to disturb Mr. President for him to see their
faces, pose for photograph 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 assured the Andoni axis of the Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity
Road project would be completed by August 2021 because the
contractor has been so directed.
