Gov Wike unguarded statements on Channels Television on the evening of 12th March, 2022 got a hot lash out From Barr. Johnson Izuagbe representing Edo PDP Youth Assembly. He stated that Wike is only one out of the 15 PDP governors in Nigeria, describing his ranting as nothing short of that of a drunk or one who is under the influence of some sort of substance.
Wike’s utterances should be taken with a pinch of salt as no serious minded individual will want to listen to his myopic kind of mindset and nonsensical rants as his problem is quite understandable, he noted.
However, Barr. Johnson ironically sympathises with the good people of Rivers State for having such a person to govern them. He is a political loose cannon unleashed on the people of Rivers State and indeed PDP. A rabourouser, an uncouth man with a terrible upbringing and an undefined family history.
Therefore, his ranting cannot deter anyone as PDP leadership is already determined to resolve all the issues in the Edo chapter of the party and indeed, other states chapters. The National Chairman did not mince words on this.
Wike is not PDP and the party does not belong to his father. So, he cannot play God in PDP. It’s on record that Wike traded his kinsman, Uche Seconds for his own selfish end. He is ready to empty the treasury of Rivers State to get the party’s presidential/vice president ticket. I must say that the party’ s ticket is not for dishonourable and super lousy men like Wike the father Christmas. He should be told in clear terms that the party belongs to all Nigerians. So, he can’t do more than a dead rat, Barr. Johnson raged.
It’s now crystal clear that the problem in Edo PDP is engineered by external forces and the lousy Wike has showed his hand as the mischief maker! He has unmasked himself as the big masquerade behind the crisis, squandering Rivers State resources, he can nolonger hide under one finger.
As Edo people, we know our history, we are never a push around or a push over in anything. Edo will ever remain Edo.
We have never played second fiddle politics in Nigeria. We can’t be alienated politically under any guise.
The Governor and his Deputy have succinctly passed the message, straight to the point, live and direct. Delivered undiluted and served as “e dey hot”, Without mincing words. We still stay on our warning that external people should stay clear of Edo PDP politics and face their States. Governor Godwin Obaseki has said this severally. The National leadership as represented by the National Chairman, Prof Iyorchia Ayu and the BoT Chairman got the message and whatever the busybody Wike is saying is irrelevant, of no value and mere threats only made by a weak and helpless man.
Wike is not a member of the party NWC and has no business in the management and running of the party. He should face Rivers State and the people. The National Chairman I know will do the needful. They will deliver the message and we await their timely response.
Our Deputy Governor has uncommon profile with history of winning elections from the university of Jos to Edo State House of Assembly, and to the House of Representative before he became the Deputy Governor.
A Former House of Rep Member, A former Majority Leader EDHA and a one Time NANS President. The Khaaki is his Identity…. He has never forgotten where he’s coming from. He is Rt Hon. Comr Philip Shaibu our very own Deputy Governor!!
Before the demise of his father, he was the Pastor of Glory of God Assembly in Kaduna.
We are battle – ready and not battle – weary, Barr Johnson retorted.
