Why Wike’s Commissioners Are Afraid – Dakuku
Immediate past Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside has flayed what he claims as the highhandedness of Governor Nyesom Wike saying that commissioners have been made redundant and are afraid to voice independent views.
Dakuku spoke against the background of what he claimed as a recent decision by Governor Wike to personally register motorcycles used for courier and other delivery services and shut down some was not just draconian but “thoughtless, inconsiderate and wicked manifestation of a dictator.”
According to him, “Is the governor now saying that the ministry of transport is incapable of handling a simple assignment of registration or that the commissioner is not responsible enough to undertake such exercise?
“The way and manner Governor Wike treat his commissioners leave so much to be desired. Most of them have been rendered redundant and ineffective. They are afraid to even offer reasonable suggestions to the governor as that could amount to automatic sack, not to even talk of them handling assignments enjoined by their offices.
“For a governor that has not employed or even promoted workers in seven years, his inconsiderate decision has now thrown more people into the labour market. If he were to be forward thinking, the governor would have looked at ways of tackling whatever challenges better rather than creating more problems.”
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Dakuku was the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate in the 2015 governorship election which was won by Wike.
