ReplyDeletethanks to God oh.
ReplyDeleteNyeson Wike is a shameless man, why didn't he give them sack letters as he threatened. Coward, he should learn to behave like a man.
ReplyDeleteYou Wike, we are displeased with you over the bizarre way in which you wanted to handle this situation.
ReplyDeleteLearn to behave like a federal public servant and not just like a commandeering chief of staff in a Rivers state Govt. house. So you knew ASUU was patriotic?
Change your ways please.
U should jt be ashamed of u self wike
ReplyDeleteWike you have shown you and GEJ are true Democrats. Wonder what the situation would have been if it were to be OBJ. He would have bride, bought some over and divide the union. That was what led to formation TUC, when NLC held him down, he divided the labour and TUC was created. He used court several times to stop NLC but GEJ never did that. Who is more humane? And a democrat. We should rather applaud them than insult or castigate them.
