Spokesman for the Tonye Cole
Campaign Organisation, Ogbonna Nwuke says Governor Nyesom Wike has no moral
right to ask Rivers people for a second tenure.
Nwuke said this in reaction to the
Governor's New Year address that the present PDP government has squandered
whatever is left of its goodwill.
"Governor Wike has no moral
right to approach the Rivers people for a second tenure in office. What is he
really coming back to do?
"Rivers people gave him a
chance to serve them in 2015 after the abracadabra that took place. Rather than
work for them, Wike turned against them and chastised them from day one.
"Rather than keep the people
safe, heads of innocent and defenseless persons were gruesomely cut off. Whole
families were wasted by hit squads, while properties worth millions of naira
were destroyed in several parts of the State.
Three years down the line, the
Governor who has squandered the opportunity to write his name in the history
books, wants a second chance. Even members of his party who have seen how bad
he is, are not looking forward to a Wike second term.”
Chief Nwuke said the Rivers people,
pushed to the wall by Wike’s administration cannot afford to gamble with the
future. He stressed that it was time to hold leaders accountable for their
deeds as this is not about party.
"We challenge the Rivers
Governor to tell Rivers people what he has done with billions of naira
belonging to them. Before asking for a second tenure, Wike should tell Rivers
people where he kept N117 billion that the EFCC says has been stolen from the
coffers of the Rivers State.
"Wike should tell Rivers people
where he is getting billions of naira that he is using to buy them out of their
land and acquire palatial structures all over Port Harcourt.
He should tell us why we have the
highest unemployment rate in the country despite billions of naira that are
flowing into the State. He should tell them why we are No 1 in all the wrong
places, insecurity, waste mismanagement, occurrence of HIV and the national
misery index.”
Urging Rivers people to say no to
looting, Nwuke said the score card of the Wike administration has not been
encouraging.
"He (Wike) has failed woefully
in improving the health sector; failed to deliver in the education sector;
failed staff of the Rivers State Civil Service and failed pensioners who worked
tirelessly to lay the foundation for the growth of our dear State", Nwuke
emphasised.
"What he has is a bag full of
colossal failures. Unlike Wike, Pastor Tonye Cole who has a clear plan, will
not allow the heads of Rivers people to be severed from their bodies and used
gruesomely to decorate roadsides in order to induce fear.
"Unlike Wike, Cole understands
the need to create an appropriate environment for investments and understands
the place of bereaucrats and technocrats who work in the State Civil Service.
"Cole knows that the greatest
task of any responsible government is to protect lives and property. This is
why Rivers people should ignore Wike's appeal for a second tenure and vote
APC", the gubernatorial spokesman stated.
He promised that the Tonye Cole
government will bring back security, investment, jobs and empowerment and
restore the garden city status with the greening and cleaning of the state and
the decimation of black soot.
