A spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar has chided Rivers State
Governor Nysesom Wike for abandoning his official duty on Monday morning to
drink alcohol.
Wike who spoke at an event in Emohua Local Government Area
last week said he was drinking alcohol while watching Atiku, the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the party national chairman,
Iyorchai Ayu, and other party members on a protest to the headquarters of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
“I called some of my friends and opened the 40-year-old
whisky as they were protesting,” Wike told the gathering.
In a statement on Sunday, Phrank Shaibu advised Wike to stay
off alcohol which he said had “affected his voice and demeanour”.
Shaibu recalled that on March 6, Atiku, party members, and
supporters demonstrated against “the stealing of the mandate of the Nigerian
people.”
“The protest occurred around 11:30 am. Governor Wike says he
was drinking whiskey during the protest at 11:30 am on a Monday.
“This reveals the sort of man he is – a dipsomaniac who
abandons his official duties on Monday morning to binge on whiskey, “he stated.
Noting that it was unfortunate that Wike steers the wheel of
governance in Rivers with such a habit, Shaibu insisted the governor’s
“vituperations and wailings” had nothing to do with ensuring that the South
produces the next president.
Wike, according to him, is “a sore loser who had gone on to
deceive other members of his G5 who are now battling for political survival. ”
Shaibu said Wike has been wailing because he lost the PDP
ticket “in a fair contest” and “deceived four other governors to join his
futile campaign.”
The aide further mocked the three G5 governors who “failed
woefully at their senatorial elections,” despite being in office for years.
Shaibu added that the re-election of Oyo Governor Seyi
Makinde “is hanging by a thread after his misadventure cost the PDP to lose all
three senatorial elections”.
The statement observed the Rivers helmsman has not held a
meeting with his colleagues “having dumped them since their defeat.”
It hailed Nigerians that have signed a petition demanding
that the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union impose a
visa ban on Wike.
