Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers States has divided social media over his comments during a meeting with the state’s traditional rulers.

While calling on traditional rulers to maintain the dignity of the office that they occupy, he called out one traditional ruler he knew as a boy over his alleged bad behaviour.

The video of the event, which had surfaced on social media, especially on Twitter, has generated controversy with many questioning the action of the Governor.

Others also came in support of the governor claiming that the circumstances that led to the outrage was not conveyed.

No governor will dare try that Wike nonsense to Oba of Benin, when the kings who are supposed to be umpire decide to now bow to political peanuts, Wike kind of nonsense is what will be their reward…

PDP goons are terming that Wike's video "SAVAGERY", in some very proud way and APC guys are calling him a BULLY.

Politics at its lowest in Nigeria.

For me? The guy is an arrogant narcissist. A power drunk smug with voice like a Duterte wannabe.
