Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has urged the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to stop entertaining gullible Nigerians with its ‘so-called’ anti-corruption war.
Wike said this during the commissioning of a Federal High Court complex built by his administration and donated to the Federal Government.
The Governor said President Buhari must stop making a caricature of his anti-graft war and rather face it like serious business.

He stressed that the current administration made a mockery of its corruption fight when it raided the homes of some Nigerian judges in ‘Gestapo style’.
“Certainly, hunting and hounding a small band of targeted judges to prison in Gestapo style even before allegations against them were investigated is more of a political witch-hunt than practical strategy to browbeat the judiciary into submission,” said Governor Wike.
“This nation must find better ways of fighting judicial and other corruptions with all the seriousness they deserve within the framework of the rule of law instead of entertaining the gullible public with phantom and tendentious actions against corruption.
“Let it also be known that we have built this courthouse to serve and advance the public interest and not to satisfy any other motives. Accordingly, we have fulfilled our duty as leaders who mean well for our country and its progress.

“The Federal Government to provide for the regular care and maintenance of this building so that its functionality is preserved for the use of the present and future generations.”, he said.
