Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has slammed Nigerian politicians for being weak before President Muhammadu Buhari. According to Wike, he says some politicians keep running to Aso Rock just to take pictures with President Muhammadu Buhari, instead of allowing him to work.
Governor Wike made this statement while speaking with a few traditional rulers, politicians and stakeholders at the government house on April 27, 2021.
In his words: “Nigeria has totally collapsed. Look at today, what happened in Nasarawa and Benue states, how they slaughtered people on the road. See what is happening in Niger state and the APC governor there is crying, saying he has been talking to the federal government but nobody has listened to him. And that Boko Haram has come to take over the state, which is closest to Abuja.
Look at Kaduna and Imo states, there is insecurity everywhere. The only anger I have with Imo state governor is this: I don’t know how people politicise things.
Nigeria has a lot of problems and they keep running to the villa everyday to disturb Mr. President, for him to see their faces, pose for photographs and will not allow him to work.
You know you have crisis at your place; you can’t stay to solve it. But every day, you go to see Mr. President so that the world will know that you’re close to him”
