Elder statesman, Edwin Clark has labelled former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike an ingrate who betrayed former President Jonathan after imposing him as governor in 2015.
Clark in a statement at the weekend blamed Wike for the political crisis in Rivers state, stating that he is a man with double standards, with one leg in APC and the other in PDP.
He said, “Wike is a man without integrity. A man with double standards. He doesn’t understand himself. He’s dancing naked in the market. He doesn’t know. He has one leg in the APC and the other leg in the PDP. Who’s he deceiving?
“In 2015, who put Wike there? Who sponsored him to become governor of Rivers state? He should ask himself whether he was sponsored by people or he just came like that. Who was he? He was just a lawyer in Port Harcourt and he was collecting rent from motor parks before Peter Odili made him the chairman of a local government council. That’s number one.
“Today, we know who made him governor. President Jonathan and his wife, Patience Jonathan, imposed Wike on the people of Rivers state against the wish of the people. But because Mrs Jonathan is a Rivers woman and Ijaw lady, she was able to get a vote of confidence for this ungrateful Wike.
