There’s no end in sight to the Sule Lamido and Nyesom Wike’s war of words over the Peoples Democratic Party which both are chieftains.
Sule Lamido, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs and a two term governor of Jigawa State has lashed out at Rivers State governor, saying Wike could only dictate to his slaves.
Lamido’s outburst was as a result of Wike’s plethora of demands for the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party to meet before he would allow peace and support the presidential flag bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
He believed that nobody in the PDP offended Wike, stressing that it’s only in Rivers, Wike could order “his slaves” in the manner he is doing.
The criticism didn’t go down well with Nyesom Wike, hence, he has been pounding the elderly man who is now.74 years.
Wike accused Lamido of fielding his son as the governorship candidate despite that he didn’t perform when he governed Jigawa State for eight years.
CAPITAL POST recalled that Wike again lamented that Sule Lamido was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs with primary school certificate, stating, it’s in Nigeria such anomaly could be allowed.
In his further reaction, Wike stated that Lamido has lost political relevance, accusing him of cracking the wall of unity.
Speaking again when he interacted with journalists at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA), shortly on arrival from London, United Kingdom (UK) recently, the governor subtly accused Lamido of nepotism.
In the company of the Rivers State governor were the governors of Benue and Abia State, Samuel Ortom and Okezie Ikpeazu respectively.
“Never mind some people who are just interested in their own, some people who only know how to produce their own children as governors or members of National Assembly,” Wike said.
“It’s unfortunate that’s the country where we are in.
“A man finished to be a governor. Now, what the man does again, how his own son will be a governor. And this is what has been part of the crisis we are having.
“It’s unfortunate. And these are the kinds of people who said they are leaders of this country. What exactly are they showing as leaders of the country?
“Leadership is not about you and your family. Leadership is about everybody.
“Somebody finishes eight years as governor. Somebody doing his own son to be governor, doing his own son to go to the National Assembly [sic].
“It is only in this part of the world that you can see that. When we are talking about poverty everywhere.”
