Rivers: Ikuru, Amaechi’s Deputy Laments 2015 Accord With Wike, Urges Him To Let Fubara Breathe

Former deputy governor of Rivers State, Dr Tele Ikuru has enjoined the immediate past governor of the state, Nyesom Wike to allow the incumbent governor, Simi Fubara breathe lamenting that investments made by him, Ikuru in Wike turned to rot.

In a statement made available to GWG.ng, Ikuru recounted how he support Wike in 2015 and again in 2019 but to no avail saying that despite the failure of the former governor to fulfil agreements he did not belly ache.

He said:

In 2015, I made a conscious decision to invest my financial resources, my time, and energy into supporting Nyesom Wike’s gubernatorial campaign. I poured my heart and soul into ensuring Nyesom Wike emerged victorious even at the risk of my personal safety.

Again in 2019, I doubled down on my commitment. I invested a significant amount of money to procure campaign outfits for all twenty-three Local Governments Areas of Rivers State. I spared no expense in supplementing Wike’s election efforts in my own local government, and once again putting myself at great risk to safeguard the fairness and transparency of the electoral process.

However, despite my unwavering loyalty and sacrifices, I found myself abandoned and forgotten by Wike. Throughout his eight-year tenure, he failed to acknowledge my contributions or fulfill his promises and agreements. Even as a former Deputy Governor, Wike denied me my severance benefit.

My investment in Wike’s governorship was not just financial – it was a commitment of passion, dedication, and belief in a better future for Rivers State. Yet, his leadership style and rash abuse of senior citizens brought me nothing but disappointment, misery and losses.

By the grace of God, today I speak not as a victim, but as a hero. I have accepted my losses, and I have moved on. And as I reflect on my experience, I cannot help but urge Wike to do the same and allow peace and development to reign in Rivers State.

Nyesom Wike, when you speak of investing in Governor Sim Fubara’s election, remember those like me who also invested in you. Remember the sacrifices I made, the risks I took, and the promises and agreements you left unfulfilled.

It is time for you, Wike, to let go of the past and allow Governor Sim Fubara the breathing space he needs to lead Rivers State forward. Allow him to focus on the challenges of good governance and the aspirations of the people. Spear him these unwarranted and ill-conceived political manoeuvrings founded on personal agendas and not for general good of Rivers State and her people.

I may have lost my investment on Wike, but I have not lost hope in the future of Rivers State. And together, we will continue to strive for a brighter tomorrow.
