Peterside said GovWike has developed into a full-blown dictator, insisting that the latest action of the governor was “wicked, insensitive, irresponsible and unlawful.”
The immediate past Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , Dr. Dakuku Peterside has condemned in strong terms the demolition of two hotels in Rivers State by Governor Nyesom Wike over alleged violation of an Executive Order.
He said Wike left no one in doubt about his lack of concrete pursuit of how to fight coronavirus with solid policies and programmes, accusing him of resorting to brute force, a show of strength and muscle-flexing with imaginary enemies. “However, no such thing was heard from the governor but threats upon threats as to how he would dethrone traditional rulers, how he will sack local government chairmen, how he will summarily arrest violators of the executive order and punish them, how he will auction their vehicles, amongst other threats. Governor Wike is not a law unto himself and cannot be the law.
“Wike’s utterances do not suggest that he is fighting the coronavirus pandemic alone. His actions suggest that there is more than what he is telling Rivers people. He has become a dictator whose words must be obeyed or be damned”.
