The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
accused the Care-Taker Governor of the State, Chief Nyesom Wike, of
wasting over N120 billion during his first 100 days in office, which
his administration attained two days ago without anything to show for
it apart from falsehood and propaganda.
The party made the allegation in a statement signed by the State
Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued on Monday in Port
Harcourt. It gave the breakdown of the sum to include the N30 billion
Wike borrowed shortly after assuming office, the N10 billion left by
the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi and over N80 billion
that has accrued to the State from Internally Generated Revenue (IGR)
and the Federation Account.
Rivers APC said: “Chief Wike represents everything that should not be
found anywhere near the corridors of power. He personifies inaction,
profligacy, corruption, maladministration and vendetta. Wike has not
initiated any meaningful project in Rivers State since he forcibly
assumed office in May 29th through the blood of Rivers people and in
connivance with the corrupt and demented State Resident Electoral
Commissioner, Dame Gesila Khan.
“Apart from setting up the vindictive Judicial Commission of Inquiry
and awarding contracts to his companies for the filling of potholes in
Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor local government areas, Chief Wike cannot
justify the expenditure of the N30 billion he borrowed plus the N10
billion left by the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi and
over N80B that has accrued to the State through Internally Generated
Revenue (IGR) and from the Federation Account.”
Continuing, Rivers APC said: “Apart from presenting roads constructed
by the Amaechi’s administration as his feats in his 100Days in office
declaration as no quality road can be constructed within six months
talk less of 100days; sponsoring a media war aimed at disparaging and
decimating the character of Rt. Hon. Amaechi and visiting various
churches to pray for forgiveness for the 100 Rivers people killed in
order to install him as Governor, Chief Wike can only boast of
increase of insecurity, kidnapping, robbery and other criminal
activities associated with a visionless administration. Today, all the
initiatives of the Amaechi administration to curb insecurity in Rivers
State have been annulled by Wike and his cohorts. The result is that
Rivers residents now sleep with two eyes open as kidnapping, such as
the case of Vanguard Columnist Donu Kogbara is now the order of the
day.”
The statement berated Wike for failing to declare his assets contrary
to the dictates of the Nigerian Constitution that elected public
officers should declare their assets. “We are, however, not surprised
about his reluctance to make his assets public because he knows that
if he does so, Rivers people and the entire world would be shocked to
know that half of the property in Port Harcourt is owed by Chief Wike
and his acolytes due to his greed and insatiable crave for wealth,”
the party said.
It equally lambasted Wike for refusing to constitute a cabinet but
preferring to run the State from his bedroom in collaboration with
Dame Patience Jonathan and other war lords that installed him as the
Rivers State Governor.”
