A former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, on Saturday, attributed the lingering political crisis in Rivers State to the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike’s pursuit of selfish interest.

Secondus, who spoke to journalists in Abuja, said the FCT Minister was the brain behind Governor Siminalaye Fubura’s political troubles.

He alleged that the former governor brought misery, grief, and anguish into the state, stressing that the Minister has failed to attract any federal project to Rivers.

According to Secondus, Fubara fell out with his estranged godfather when he (Fubara) decided to prevent the looting of the state.

He explained that the political crisis currently rocking the state was orchestrated by those who demand unfettered access to the state’s finances, a demand he said the governor refused to accept.

Secondus said, “Wike has been Governor for eight years and is now Minister of the FCT.

“As Minister, what has he, Wike, attracted in terms of Federal projects to our dear State since he assumed office?

“Perhaps misery, grief, and anguish. As governor he supervised the exit of investors from the state due to his draconian policies.

“He had on an occasion mentioned that he is capable of causing a crisis and he is not far from the truth, as he is causing an unfathomable crisis in Rivers State.

“Mrs Patience Jonathan and I worked for his emergence as governor, have we ever breathed down his neck? Instead, what we get is disrespect and insults.

“I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to prevail on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to stop overheating the Rivers State political atmosphere and allow Fubara to work. Whatever Wike thinks he is, it must be stressed that Rivers people made him.”

Let Secondus go and sit down. Wike did not bring misery when he forced Secondus on PDP as the national chairman. He paid Secondus back for supporting his aspiration to be the governor. Having brushed Secondus aside because of his Presidential ambition, Secondus became aggrieved.

Politics is about power and ambition. It is the survival of the fittest. We know Wike has issues, but Secondus should please close his mouth.

Should they realign next month, this condemnation will turn to praises and we'll hear how Wike is the best thing to have ever happened to Rivers.

On everything game politicians play, the judiciary should NEVER allow itself to be an accessory.

Once anyone of them runs foul of the constitution, the judiciary should immediate assert itself, otherwise these greedy set of people will bring the roof down on everybody.

They don't care!
