Peterside Is Amaechi’s Breastfeeding Political Godson – Wike

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has described the 2015 Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, as a breastfeeding political godson of Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

This is contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief of Staff, Engineer Chukwuemeka Woke, on Thursday in Port Harcourt.

The statement, which follows Peterside’s statement published in one of the national dailies, condemning the dissolution of the State Executive Council by Wike, accused Peterside of “deliberately refusing to understand the tenets of developmental philosophy in governance.”

The statement read, “The attention of the Rivers State Government has been drawn to another unfortunate ranting of the defeated Rivers APC Governorship Candidate.

“In the unguarded statement published in one of the national dailies, Peterside condemned the dissolution of the State Executive Council by His Excellency, Governor Wike. This is most unfortunate and a proof that Peterside lacks knowledge of the rudiments of governance.

“Dakuku spent four years as Amaechi’s Commissioner for Works with an average of about N300 billion without any meaningful improvement on the state of roads. It took the emergence of Governor Wike to develop the road infrastructure of the State.

“Dakuku, a breastfeeding political godson of Amaechi should recall that the Governors of Nasarawa, Borno, Imo, Kano, Bauchi and Lagos, among other APC State governors have since changed their cabinets without anyone raising eyebrows. The 2015 failed APC governorship candidate should keep quiet and allow Governor Wike to concentrate on developing Rivers State.”
