The Director of Strategic Communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu, Wednesday, slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, “for acting as if he owned Rivers State”.
Momodu made it clear that Rivers state is neither his property nor inheritance.
Momodu stated this in a post on his on X handle (formerly Twitter).
He had earlier praised the former Rivers state governor for the executions of infrastructural projects under his administration.
He, however, stated that Wike had many flaws, among which are lack of anger management, and his forgetfulness that God has been kind to him.
The tweets partly read, “Rivers is neither your property nor perpetual inheritance. There were governors long before you cut your teeth and there must be others after you.”
He reminded Wike of his rise to prominence adding, “From a Local Government Chairman in Rivers State to Chief of Staff, to Minister of State Education, to governor for eight years and now back to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory…I do not know anyone with your kind of divine favour.
“This should satisfy you but your insatiable hunger and thirst for power is driving you into believing that you must have your way all the time. It would have been nice if you were in private business and running your personal enterprise.”
The state House of Assembly had made efforts to impeach Fubara.
This has led to the arrest of 122 youths who allegedly invaded the official residence of the Speaker of the House, Martins Amaewhule, during a protest in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Tuesday.
However, President Bola Tinubu and governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party intervened to stop the impeachment moves against Fubara.
