It has been brought to our notice that Chief Nyesome Wike, gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has set up a three-man committee to study and clone the well-researched Four-Point Agenda of our governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside. The Four-Point Agenda entitled ‘Road Map To Prosperity’ will serve as an instrument to be used to revolutionise Rivers State under the envisaged Dakuku Peterside administration.
This attempt by Chief Wike to steal our candidate’s ideas is entirely not surprising because he is a man without principles who has been campaigning without any defined agenda for the development and emancipation of Rivers State than the spreading of violence.
The truth is that Wike is not prepared for the serious job of governing a complex State like Rivers and was conscripted into the race by his paymasters in Abuja
as a ploy by the PDP and the Presidency to deny the Riverine part of Rivers an opportunity to have a shot at the seat of power after 16 years of governorship by the Upland part of the State, out of which Chief Wike’s kinsman, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, would have spent eight years by May 29, 2015 as Governor.
If Wike succeeds it means that the Ikwerre tribe from which both Amaechi and Wike hail from, will govern Rivers State for eight more years and sixteen years all together, to the detriment of other sections of the State.
To us in Rivers State APC, this is injustice and wickedness of the highest order. We are happy that the royal fathers of Ikwerre Kingdom have adopted Dr. Dakuku Peterside as sole candidate for the gubernatorial election in the spirit of equity. Unfortunately, Chief Wike is hell-bent on truncating the rotating of power to the Riverine area of the State but he has already failed.
