“How Wike Wasted Billions of Rivers State money on a fruitless venture. Sometimes, when God has been kind to a man, he begins to see himself as God” – Momodu on Wike
Chief Dele Momodu, accomplished Journalist, celebrated Publisher of Ovation International, Politician, a two-time Presidential Aspirant, and Director of Strategic Communications, Peoples Democratic Party’s Campaign Council, has asked for prayers for Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
In a statement in response to Wike’s many fights with many people, including Momodu who he chided for not getting a single vote during the PDP Presidential Primary, Momodu said Wike will know what he did to himself after May 29, 2023. That is the day Wike’s tenure as a Governor will end.
Momodu: “He said I did not win any vote, but we both lost, yet, he wasted billions of State money pursuing a dream he couldn’t achieve.
“Wike will know life better after May 29, 2023, no matter what position he occupies thereafter. No one will trust him.”
Momodu chided Wike for terminating the political career of three of his Governor friends. Along with Governors Samuel Ortom, Benue, Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Enugu, and Seye Makinde, Wike formed the G5 which he headed. They fought both the Party and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar over the loss of the Vice Presidential ticket by Wike even though on the surface, they claimed they wanted the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, now barred by a Court from parading himself as Governor, out for equity and fairness in the Party. They wanted, they said, a Chairman from the South because it was unfair, according to them, for both the Presidential Candidate and the National Chairman to come from the same Region – Northern Nigeria.
In the General Elections, Ortom, Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi, lost their Senatorial bid. The situation of Ortom and Ikpeazu is even worse. They were not able to produce their successors. Only Ugwuanyi did, even though the outcome is in dispute.
Momodu, also mocked Wike over Peter Obi. He said that even though Wike “stylistically” pushed the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, out of the PDP, he is not in Obi’s class. He said Obi is more relevant, politically, than Wike, while Atiku remains a global statesman and businessman.
Following is Momodu’s post on Wike shared to Reporters in Abuja on Wednesday.
“As his big brother who loves him so much, I will continue to offer him prayers so that God can deliver him fully from this demon of anger.
“Wike truly deserves our pity and prayers. He is a hard working man who suffers from several afflictions like many mortals, the chief of which is rabid anger.
“He is a control freak who expects everyone to bow and tremble before him no matter your age or influence in society. Sometimes, when God has been so kind to a man, he may begin to see himself as God.
“Wike is gloating that Atiku lost the election, the process of which is still ongoing. But Wike lost his own election since last year, and he is yet to recover.
“Wike is happy that Dr Iyorchia Ayu is no longer our National Chairman. Oh, but despite his attacks against the gentleman, Wike’s power and wealth couldn’t remove him.
“Only cowards mock the “dead” in battle. Like a suicide bomber, Wike terminated the dream of three of his Governor-friends in his war of attrition.
“So, what exactly did he gain? He said I did not win any votes, but both of us lost, yet he wasted billions of State resources om pursuing a dream he couldn’t achieve.
“I remain a Journalist without borders, while he continues to oppress his hapless and seemingly helpless victims in Rivers State. Even the Peter Obi that he stylistically intimidated out of PDP is far more relevant today.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar remains a global statesman in politics and in business. And he still can’t do with the ARISE NEWS that he pretends to hate so much. What is there to gloat about.
“The outgoing Governor will know life better after May 29, 2023. No matter what position he occupies thereafter, no one will ever trust him.
“He will be viewed with suspicion and derision. He may become the first Governor Emeritus to live in the Government House with the new Governor, or move the Governor into his own guest chalet for the sole purpose of signing documents.
“It is the way the cookie crumbles. What a sad end to a brilliant career!! Very unfortunate.”
