Between Wike’s attack on Uzodimma and reality | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Every discerning Nigerian knows Governor Nyesom Wike as a brash and rabble-rouser of man, one with propensity to viciousness. The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris Ngige, once described him as a ‘gra gra’ man. In local parlance, this means a noisemaker without substance and depth. It can also be interpreted as a vulnerable person who has a complex and resorts to noise – making to attract attention.

Therefore, without being emotional, we need to interrogate the wild and baseless claim by Wike that Uzodinma has failed and does not deserve re-election. We also need to understand the context of assessment and situate it along the line of Wike’s cantankerous posturing, which in the last seven years has left the good people of Rivers State in tears.

Unlike Uzodinma who has been running a transparent, accountable and inclusive Government, Wike’s “self aggrandizement has not allowed him tell Rivers people what he has been doing with their money. Just last week, a prominent son of the state, Mr Dakuku Peterside, raised the alarm that the level of corruption in Rivers State under Wike was benumbing. He called on the Stakeholders to urgently intervene before the state collapses.

He met a moribund Adapalm Nigeria Limited, which had been comatose for 25 years. Reputed as the largest palm – processing plant in this part of the country, Adapalm is a gold mine that was abandoned by successive governments in the state. But, Hope Uzodinma has revived it to return to its premier position. Thousands of jobs have been created and the economy of the state boosted as a result. This is just one example of what Uzodinma is doing in the agricultural sector.
