Governor Nyelsom Wike of Rivers
State has expressed anger over the current state of the nation, saying there is
nothing like Nigeria that needs to be celebrated.
In a video, Wike was sighted speaking during a sermon in a church as part of
activities to mark the 2021 Independence Day.
Govenor Wike, who refered to the
country as an old man at 61, said Nigeria is characterized with hatred, division
and enemity, stressing that some persons in authority are hating a whole state
because of an individual.
The Governor lambasted the
National Assembly for allegedly misrepresenting Nigerians, particularly on the
constant approval for loan whenever it is requested by the executive.
Wike expressed sadness over the
lawmaker’s failure to ask questions on how the monenies were being used.
He also alleged that there is no
court in the country, stating that they have been intimidated by those in
power.
He stressed that the Nigerian
judges have abandoned their responsibilities for the fear of unknown.
He said, “You have a child that
is 61 years old. In the next few days, Nigeria will be 61 years old. So many
people celebrate when they get to 60 years thanking God.
“Now Nigeria is 61 years but the
only reason why we can thank God is because there still appears a name called
‘Nigeria’. That is the only reason we are thanking God. But indeed, is there
anything called Nigeria?
“An old man at 61 years, full of
enemity, division and hatred. At 61 years, you hate a state because of an
individual, discriminating against some people because of their religion,
because of where they come from. And we are here clapping hands for Nigeria.
“At 61 years old, where is legislature?
A legislature that cannot think, a legislature that anything they bring is
right. A legislature that cannot say that Nigeria has come to the age of
conducting a free and fair election.
“A legislature that would close
its eyes and say “anytime you want to borrow, borrow”. A legislature that will
not ask questions “this money that you are borrowing, where is it”?
“61 year old, giant of Africa.
The money they are borrowing, where are they applying it? We have no congress
to ask questions.
“Indeed what are we celebrating
at 61 years old? Where are the courts? The judges are been intimidated, they
have abandoned their responsibilities out of fear of what would happen”.
