Dakuku Peterside, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers State, has accused Governor Nyesom Wike of spending N30 billion in state finances on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election.
In a statement, Dakuku Peterside congratulated Atiku Abubarkar on his victory, saying the outcome of the PDP presidential primaries on Saturday in Abuja proved Wike was simply a “local champion” with insufficient experience to fight in national politics.
Wike was pushed by Peterside to submit himself to Atiku for training in high-stakes politics.
He said: “Wike has shown a lack of requisite experience and depth to compete in national politics. I suggest that Wike quickly returns home, shades off his toga of pride, and submit himself to Atiku to be tutored on the dynamics of national politics and the angles to hi-wire deals.”
While bemoaning that Rivers State would be worse off now that Wike had been defeated by Atiku, Peterside claimed that the governor had given out around N10 billion in unsolicited charity to states and spent nearly N20 billion on his ill-fated presidential bid.
He said: “That Wike could dip his hands that deep into Rivers’ treasury to pursue his vaulting ambition is a confirmation of my earlier assertion that Wike’s governorship represents our all time low moments since the State was created on May 27, 1967.”
Hi there everyone, it’s my first visit at this website, and post is truly fruitful in favor of me, keep up posting such posts.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I like it when people come together and share thoughts. Great blog, keep it up!
