“I watched with amazement on Channels Television remarks made about my person today 18th June 2021 by the Governor of Rivers State, Chief E.N Wike, at the commissioning of a poorly constructed Community Secondary School in Eteo, Eleme Local Government Area, where he accused me of intimidating opposition in my LGA and lampooned my appointment as an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I am scandalised that the Governor of Rivers State demonstrates such crass display of unenligntenment about the work of an Ambassador; Gov. Wike believes that every political appointment must give access to his well known voracious appetite for money and covertiousness.
I am not surprised that his mediocre performance as Governor is a reflection of his lack of knowledge and adequate information on Good Governance. He revels in mediocrity and infantile populism.
Eleme people are wiser than Wike thinks and we do not tolerate empty polical hubris. He would have assessed me by my performance as the longest serving Local Government Chairman of Eleme LGA, and not as an Ambassador which clearly is beyond his comprehension.
Eleme is the bastion of APC in Rivers State and no amount of political chicanery can change that. I will strongly advise the Governor to read up on subject matters he does not understand, before making public utterances.
His poor grasp of issues is unbecoming of Governor of a sophisticated place like Rivers State”
