Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Political analyst, Sam Amadi has declared that Nyesom Wike is not fit to be Nigeria\u2019s President in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Rivers Governor had stated that the nation is in a mad state and requires a mad man to lead.<\/p>\n

In his response via a Facebook post on Sunday, Amadi said Nigeria is not mad but is misgoverned and dysfunctional.<\/p>\n

The ex-Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) boss insists the country needs an intelligent strategist and competent manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria needs a Level 5 leader: humble to assess the facts, select the solution, and firm to execute the solution. Madness is not firmness. Governor Wike is not the right man for the job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said like in Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), if the ticket should go to a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant who has been most outstanding in supporting the party, Wike should get it.<\/p>\n

Amadi described the governor as a courageous man who has remained steadfast when many PDP leaders were running for cover.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike is the leading opposition politician in Nigeria. He is doing to Buhari what Tinubu did to Obasanjo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike is a self-styled \u2018workaholic\u2019 Governor, principally on account of his infrastructural projects\u201d, the assessment reads.<\/p>\n

Amadi however lamented that in spite of enormous wealth from the federation account, Wike is alleged to be in default in the matters of salaries and pensions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who can, but does not pay wages, has failed the most fundamental test of development\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment is about the people. Rivers State and Lagos State should pay the highest minimum wage in Nigeria and not owe wages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amadi noted that Wike is great in terms of basic infrastructure and management of security, but is lacking in human development and urban renewal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike is brash and uncouth. He is also impatient, superficial and often unbalanced in his assessment of situations and interventions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis propensity to abuse others or disparage even his colleagues does not show the emotional intelligence to build coalitions and accomplish transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyer said Wike will be decisive unlike President Muhammdu Buhari whose \u201cdithering and lack of firm actions lead to the current rudderless state\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut his inconsiderate actions may compound the challenges and create unintended negative results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting that Wike will be an asset as a Senator, so he can use his \u2018madness\u2019 to constrain the executive, Amadi maintained he will do a terrible job as a President \u201cwithout the required lucidity and discipline\u201d.<\/p>\n
