This is hypocrisy draped in ignorance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fubara had said he would not have inaugurated road projects in Obio Akpor Local Government Area of the state if he were to be evil.<\/p>\n<p>He added that politics is all about meeting the needs of people despite their loyalties or allegiances.<\/p>\n<p>However, Woke said, \u201cTo ridicule Wike\u2019s work, especially when it provides substantial benefits to the community, is not just factually incorrect but disingenuous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anything, it shows a failure to acknowledge the foundations laid before you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo even give a thought of not executing any project in Wike\u2019s community, if he were a bad person, speaks volumes of the governor\u2019s insidious nature that should be worrisome to the public, particularly those who barely know him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were all deceived by his pretentious disposition while he served as the Accountant General of the state, having been promoted above his contemporaries by Wike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIt\u2019s clear that maturity in leadership requires more than a title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
