Why Wike Is Jittery – Rivers APC Explains

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has denied any media campaign against Governor Nyesom Wike saying that the governor had rather, become jittery because of fears that his record in government is about to be scrutinized.

The party in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke said that the governor had become jittery over invitations from some media houses to Dr. Dakuku Peterside to ventilate on issues concerning the state and Nigeria.

“But, for record purposes and especially outsiders who may be gullible to the media campaign of Governor Wike and his team, which is intended to deceive Nigerians, the APC  has not concocted any plan to sponsor any media campaign,” the party said.

“The truth of the matter is that Dr Dakuku Peterside, a leading light in Rivers State, celebrated columnist and a major stakeholder in APC has been invited by different media organizations in Rivers State to X-ray state and national development issues in line with his regular weekly column that commands wide followership.

“Dr Peterside, a well-known national figure who has earned his place in national discourse was invited as an individual and not as representative or spokesman of the APC.

“The question agitating the minds of Rivers people is why is Gov Wike jittery?  It is obvious Gov wike and the government he leads hates to be asked to account for their financial transactions. 

“To fully understand Wike’s fear is to appreciate that no government in the history of Rivers State has dished out so much lies as the present government has done,  with a clear intent to deceive all and sundry.

“Wike has embarked on building bridges that have no impact on the local economy or the welfare of the people. While Wike and a tiny clique of party lords are getting rich from the common purse, the majority of Rivers people, including PDP members are being impoverished.

“Rivers State Government under Governor Nyesom Wike can only boast of their record of renovation of schools and a handful of hospitals as legacy projects for a state that earned more than N2.4 Trillion in six years.

“Out of a humongous sum of N2.4 trillion, it is on record that a total of N200billion was donated to unworthy causes while pensioners are being owed, workers denied their promotion and other entitlements while the state Secretariat stinks and depreciates.

“The APC will respond at the appropriate time but for now let the government wait for the seasoned and reasoned comments of the cerebral-minded Progressive, Dr Dakuku Peterside.

“While the APC which is gathering statistics on the expenditure pattern of Governor remains committed to its historic mission, our take, there is absolutely no need for the Government to be consumed by imaginary illusions that are obviously making it jittery at this time.”
