THE MAN WHO WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR. People are outraged by Nyesom Wikes not so covert gubernatorial campaign because it smacks of disregard for the ethnic groups which are yet to produce a governor of Rivers State. It seems to many a mark of high greed and inordinate ambition for Wike to embark on the grand exploitation of the Presidents estranged relationship with his former boss Rotimi Amaechi, all the time plotting under cover a gubernatorial invasion of Rivers State, never minding that this guber-hunger, the lust of taking over from Amaechi (a fellow Ikwerre) for another eight years would be a rape on the turn-by-turn conscience and brotherhood of Rivers people. This ruthless aggression against the accepted way of sharing power in the state portends to be far more destructive than the impunity over which Wike has superintended while allowing the blame to rest on the president. The aggressive invasion of the Rivers political space by Wike has created much concern, necessitating a throw-back in the imminent ABR edition to Wikes most memorable moment; when the education minister was nabbed by the EFCC for allegedly stealing N4.6 Billion. It was no surprise that after some days in EFCC detention, he had managed to escape being sent to jail, relying on the skills of lawyers who can extricate a man caught in broad daylight robbery. The war against corruption suffered terribly and today Nyesom Wike is threatening to plunge Rivers State into peril. Should such a man be allowed to rule Rivers? ABR prepares this hurricane edition of award-winning writing and pictures that say a thousand words about the man who wants to be governor.
