Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma has insisted his Rivers counterpart Nyesom Wike is one of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) figures responsible for the attempted removal of national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
He advised the Rivers Governor to think before he talks on political matters, particularly as they concern the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) he pretends to love more than other members of the party.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to Governor Uzodinma, Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku, Uzodinma said Wike arrogates to himself the strength he does not have going by the way he talks.
He said: “There is no better way to pin Governor Wike down to the recent crisis rocking the APC and its National Chairman than the careless way he spoke against Governor Uzodinma who obviously was echoing what many already know about Wike and his type of politics.
”Is it not unfortunate that Governor Wike pretends to have a court injunction on how to speak carelessly, the reason many erstwhile members of the PDP, including founding members, had abandoned the Party which is about to collapse on Wike’s head.
“Rather than engage in some kind of introspection on what went wrong with his Party, Governor Wike thinks that trivializing serious issues of national and international importance will bring accolades his way.
“If Governor Wike did not have a hand in the Oshiomhole saga, why insult innocent Governor Uzodinma whose only crime was that he brought Wike’s mischief tendencies to the fore for everyone to see?
“Governor Wike pretends to love the Judiciary more than anyone else but the truth is that every opportunity he gets to stand the judiciary on the head he does so with relish.”
He added: “Mr. Governor, your interest in the attempted removal of the National Chairman of the APC is legion and you know it.
“Unlike most of you, Governor Uzodinma does not talk much and when he does it is not frivolous.
“Stop pretending because that has been the lot of characters like you that did the PDP in and ready to bury it finally.
“Governor Uzodinma has an idea why you are badly hurt. You have the right to be hurt anyway.
“However, because you are Mr. Know All you still cannot imagine how Governor Uzodinma has reduced yourself acclaimed political “wisdom” to ignorance.
“Governor Uzodinma believes in the rule of law like the APC and has not hidden his respect for the judiciary as a critical organ for national development and survival of Nigeria’s democracy.
“If Governor Uzodinma were to be you, he would not have followed through all the processes he painstakingly adopted to emerge the governor of Imo State on Januray 14, 2020, and reaffirmed Governor on March 3, 2020 after you worked so hard to truncate the judgment of the Supreme Court.
“But unfortunately, you have continued to denigrate the Supreme Court that adjudicated over Governor Uzodinma’s case by carelessly and arrogantly describing the ruling of the Apex Court as synonymous with fraud. I do hope you know the implications?
