Governor Nyesom Wike said the baffling state of insecurity and the killings of citizens by outlaws is a clear manifestation of bad APC leadership.
Governor Wike made the assertion when he had an interactive session with traditional rulers, political and opinion leaders of Andoni nationality at Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday said instead of leaders to be bold to speak against the ills in the land and sincerely pursue solutions to them, they indulge in sycophancy.
“See what is happening in Niger State and the APC Governor there is crying, saying he has been talking to the Federal Government but nobody has listened to him. And that Boko Haram has come to take over the state, which is closest to Abuja.”
The governor recalled that when he raised alarm of the looming danger of insecurity it was politicised.
“Some persons in the opposition dismissed it as mere politics. But, ironically states controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) are now the worst hit.
“Look at Kaduna and Imo States, there is insecurity everywhere. The only anger I have with the Imo State Governor is this; I don’t know how people politicise things.”
The governor castigated APC governors for claiming their party has solved the problems of hunger, unemployment, whereas they could barely stay in their State to provide governance for those who elected them.
Governor Wike assured that the Andoni axis of the Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity Road project will be completed by August 2021 because the contractor has been so directed.
The governor charged the delegation to collectively work with the State government to tackle the issue of insecurity in Andoni.
“We cannot achieve it if you do not work with us. Traditional rulers, chairman of council, and opinion leaders, you must work with us by giving us information that will help the security agencies to address the security challenge.”
