Elder statesman, High Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe has reacted to the absence of Gov. Nyesom Wike at the funeral of former four-time federal minister, Alabo Graham Douglas at the weekend.
Sara-Igbe in a statement yesterday, said Wike has openly shown disdain and hatred for the Kalabari ethnic nationality and the entire Ijaw nation.
He described Gov. Nyesom Wike’s claim of spending N50 million on the health of the late elder statesman as political, insincere, incongruous and diversionary.”
He also said Wike rather than exhibitng a high level of leadership anchored on fairness has politically and economically enslaved the Ijaw nation.
“It is also unfortunate that rather than evolve measures that would foster cohesion and peaceful co-existence among the people, and give all ethnic nationalities in Rivers State a sense of belonging, Governor Wike has openly shown his disdain, absolute hatred and nepotism against the people of Kalabari Kingdom,” he said.
