Rivers state Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has claimed that the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was biased in its fight
against corruption, stressing that he would rather fight corruption his
own way than support the anti-graft campaign of the current
administration.
The Governor made this assertion on Sunday during a thanksgiving service in celebration of his victory at the Supreme Court.
According
to him, “We would not support the fight against corruption. People took
our money from the state, and we wrote to the police asking them to go
and make a statement; nothing has come out of it.
“We won’t
take anybody to the EFCC because I know what would happen. We know how
to fight our own way. We won’t support that war against corruption that
they are doing.”
Wike, who disclosed that he would have given up
if the verdict did not end in his favour, noted that bloodshed was
prevented in the state through the ruling of the apex court, asserting
that, “blood would have flown if the election was going to hold again.”
Hear
him, “So, I called some people, including the chairman of the PDP, Uche
Secondus, that I was not going to run again. They said why and I
explained that if I did, many people would die.
“I pray that my
enemy should continue to have permanent high blood pressure. I wouldn’t
pray that God will heal them. My own has come down now, and for several
months it was high. It is time for their own to rise.”
