A group, Niger Delta Advocacy and Good Governance Watch
(NDAGGW) on Friday blamed Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for fanning the
embers of disunity in the Niger Delta region through his alleged reckless and
unguarded statements.
The organisation frowned at the latest tirade of the Rivers
governor during the commissioning of the second Nkpogu bridge by former
President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday.
They observed that Wike’s attempt to join others and
castigate Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson over his recent
harmless comment on the performance of past leaders of the region was not only
immature but gave him away as the chief sponsor of those who have been
misinterpreting it.
The group said it had listened to Gov. Dickson’s speech
which he made on the Isaac Boro Day celebration in Yenagoa last Tuesday and
nothing suggested that he was referring to the former president and therefore
wonered why Wike will be spareheading and sponsoring those slanting it.
The statement reads: “Rather than call his brother governor
to clarify if truly such a comment came from him, Wike is busy distorting
Dickson’s patriotic remarks. It has become clearer that it is him that has been
behind the various publications smearing the image of the Bayelsa State
governor. This to us has once again exposed his antics of always playing the
devil’s advocate.
“Our question is why is Wike crying more than the bereaved?
It comes with the obvious feeling that he as usual wants to curry favour but
sadly he has turned himself to the biblical Esau. We don’t know how long he
will continue with this attitude but we do hope he realizes his actions and
restitute.”
According to them, they had it on good authority that the
same Wike sponsored Ann-Kio Briggs to mobilize and cause mayhem during the
second anniversary of Dickson on February 14, 2017 and this became glaring when
less than 48 hours after her shameful conduct, the self-acclaimed Niger Delta
activist at a town hall meeting with Acting President Yemi Osibanjo pleaded for
the reinstatement of some of Wike’s security details.
Describing the Rivers state governor as a serial betrayal,
bootlicker and political opportunist, the Niger Delta group disclosed that
they were also aware of plans by Wike to sponsor a candidate for the next
Bayelsa governorship election and added that he seem not to be at peace with
himself because of the shadow of his predecessor that was hunting him.
