Former All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant
in Rivers State, Dakuku Peterside, has accused the state governor, Nyesom Wike
of seizing and giving off the state’s property to his friends and cronies.
Peterside, who was 2015 governorship candidate of the APC,
accused Wike of being on a property acquisition spree.
The Opobo-born politician, who was a former Commissioner for
Works during the administration of Chibuike Amaechi, said Wike had cornered no
fewer than 400 houses for himself and his cronies in ways he described as
“ridiculous and undignified.”
Peterside expressed shock that the governor evicted some
senior civil servants from their homes in the Old and new GRAs and collected
their residences.
“Wike will go down as the most greedy and covetous governor
in Rivers’ history,” he lamented.
“No governor has ever shown such a crave for obscene wealth
in Nigeria’s history as Wike.
“Wike’s house in his village, Rumueprikom, with all
luxurious appetite that includes a helipad and bullet-proof gadgets, has become
the official Government House of Rivers.
“And in his unbridled lust for estate acquisition, Wike is
buying-off more property, including churches, schools, and private family
houses, along Ada George area of Port Harcourt, either opposite, behind, or
adjacent to his palatial mansion to expand his estate.
“Governor Wike behaves as if he is in control of the future,
disregarding the culture of civility, equity, fairness, empathy and due process
associated with the exalted office of the Governor; Wike is indeed a shame to
Rivers’ people and all that the state represents,” Dakuku Peterside summed up.
It was gathered that the governor recently demolished
several shanties across nine waterfront settlements in Diobu, Port Harcourt
area of the State, leaving thousands of residents displaced.
