Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says he has no
apologies for thanking President Muhammadu Buhari over the release of oil
derivation fund to the Niger Delta States.
Wike spoke at the conferment of awards on 162 Nigerians for
their achievements, influential lives and services to the advancement of Rivers
State and the nation.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Kelvin Ebiri,
Governor Wike’s Personal Assistant on Media.
The statement was made available to journalists on Sunday.
“Because I said ‘Buhari, thank you,’ I am having problems
today. That is the country we are in. I am not a fan of Buhari.
“When a man has done well, say he has done well in this
area. If he has not done well, you say so. I have no apologies for anyone. If
Buhari had not released the money from 1999, which my party did not even
release, I wouldn’t have been doing what I am doing,” Wike said.
Wike also advised governors of Kogi and Ebonyi States not to
waste their resources supporting any other gubernatorial candidate in the State
because his party- the PDP will win all elective positions in the forthcoming
general elections.
