Former Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, said that won’t stop speaking out against the depletion of state resources going on under the watch of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
He described Wike as a colossal failure, whose only legacy was abject tyranny.
Peterside stated this in a statement, Monday, in response to Wike’s remarks at a thanksgiving service held at St Paul’s Cathedral in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday.
Wike had, at thanksgiving service, berated Peterside for allegedly threatening the peace and stability of the state over the arrest and arraignment of Dagogo in court.
The ex-NIMASA helmsman has been a strong critic of Wike’s administration.
He explained, in the statement, that his criticism of the state government over the years was neither driven by personal ambition nor pecuniary consideration.
Rather, he said, it was for his love for the state, which, unfortunately, he noted, had been robbed dry by the governor.
“Maybe Wike wants me to keep quiet for making Port Harcourt the dirtiest city in Nigeria; making Rivers people personification of poverty; visiting untold hardship on our pensioners; or abandoning education,” he said.
Peterside, who claimed that posterity would rate Wike Rivers’ the worst governor ever, said he would continue to hold him to account until he leaves office in 2023.
