Omehia Urges Wike To Purge Himself Of Greed For Power

Former Governor of Rivers State Sir Celestine Omehia has called on the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to reduce his propensity for power and greed and allow Governor Siminalayi Fubara to do his work. This undying inclination for power is tormenting him and serving him unstable moments.

Omehia made this assertion in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by Nicholas Amaechi, Executive Assistant to Celestine Omehia, in response to the live television interview that the former Governor of Rivers State and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike hosted in Abuja recently.

In the said interview, Wike described Omehia and other PDP Leaders in Rivers State who declared support for the administration of Gov Sim Fubara and President Bola Tinubu last week as “expired politicians and buccaneers”

He described Wike’s uncontrolled outbursts as a product of a confused mind, Omehia said that Wike’s anger is that his ambition of a 3rd tenure has crashed and the people of Rivers State have realised that his quest for power is personal and not for the interest of Rivers state or the south south at large as claimed.

“The FCT Minister thought that he would continue to control and abuse the resources and governance of the state but God, through the people resisted the impeachment plot by his members of the  Rivers State House of Assembly”, Omehia said, noting that Wike is notorious for lying against anyone,  anytime and disrespects elders at will, so there is no surprise about his outburst and criticism against innocent personalities in Rivers State.

“Wike speaks from both sides of his mouth; he says something today and denies it tomorrow like a clown. I am not a buccaneer and my capacity to contribute to the growth and development of my state and country is not impaired.

“I wonder why he is pained by our support for the Gov and the Federal Government under President Tinubu. Does he want us to perpetually be at political war with everybody, even long after elections are over and governance has taken over? Is it not madness?

Omehia noted that Wike’s excesses, inconsistencies and hallucinations have reached a shameful peak and advised him to face his jo In a statement by Nicholas Amaechi, Executive Assistant to Celestine Omehia, in Abuja as the State is not missing his presence and nuisance value.
