Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has taken former Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State to the cleaners.

Wike’s Media Aide, Kelvin Ebiri in a statement said:

“We have observed with disgust the disdainful remarks made by the former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido about Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, during his recent interview on Channels television.”

“While, we cannot deny that Lamido has an inalienable right to his personal opinion, we wish to declare that he, however, lacks the right to malign governor Wike, whose immense contributions to the sustenance of the Peoples Democratic Party are not in dispute.”

“It is rather appalling that at a time when concerted efforts are being made by lovers of true democracy and the unity of the party, to resolve some inherent contradictions plaguing the PDP, Lamido and his cohorts, who have since lost their relevance in the polity, are busy creating friction and schism.”

“Perhaps, Alhaji Lamido thinks Nigerians are suffering from selective amnesia to have forgotten in a hurry, the ignoble role he and his cohorts played between 2014 and 2015, that culminated in the defeat of the PDP in the 2015 general election.”

For those who don’t know, this was what Lamido said about Wike…

“Nyesom Wike is fuelling the post-presidential primary crisis.”

“Wike who is criticising the presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for picking Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate, imposed a governorship candidate on the Rivers PDP, in spite of complaints by other aspirants.”

“Wike is free to do whatever he likes, provided he is within the law, I advise him to tread the path of caution.”

“Wike should remember that he will soon become a past governor and an ordinary citizen like himself.”
