Chairman of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education, David Briggs has taken a swipe at the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike over his role in the political crises rocking the state, stating that he cannot survive in a peaceful environment.
Briggs, in a statement in Port Harcourt at the weekend accused Wike of inciting violence in the state to stay relevant.
“Wike as a person cannot and will not survive where there is peace, and that is the problem we have in Rivers State today.”
“If you note since after the court judgement concerning the release of federal allocation to the state government, the state had been quiet. Rivers State was fast enjoying peace and Wike had just created the problems so that he will be the beneficiary,” he said.
The former Commissioner for Works also dismissed statements credited to Wike that nobody made him politically, stressing that Wike’s political success, including his governorship bid, was facilitated by Odili and the former First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
