Wike: Nigeria is now completely directionless

Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Rivers state governor, has declared that Nigeria is now completely directionless, with the country permanently on a dangerous downward slide.

Swearing-in four judges of the Rivers State High Court and Customary Court of Appeal at the Government House Port Harcourt on Monday, Governor Wike regretted that the politicization of governance process, which has entrenched despair across the country.

Governor Wike commended Elder Statesman, General Theophilus Danjuma, for saying the obvious truth about the security architecture of the country.

He said that Rivers State security has been deliberately compromised by security agencies who work with APC to undermine security of lives and property.

According to him, the recent deliberate crisis and threat to violence by the APC on the setting up of the neighbourhood Safety Corps underscores the devilish schemes to promote insecurity in Rivers State.

“Nigeria has gotten to a point that we don’t know where we are heading. I don’t use to fast, but I will fast for God to keep General Danjuma. General Theophilus Danjuma has said the obvious truth. It is happening daily in Rivers State.

“We are setting up our Neighbourhood Safety Corps, but they are generating crisis. We only replicated what is in existence in Lagos State, but nobody queries that of Lagos State. Only recently, Nasarawa State launched her outfit, without being challenged “, Governor Wike said.

He berated the APC Federal Government for abandoning the solemn duty of protection of lives and property in pursuit of 2019 re-election.
