Peterside to Wike: You’re a terrible disappointment

Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside, has described Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State as “a terrible disappointment”.
Peterside, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the April 11, 2015 election in the South-South state, also declared that “no amount of well-crafted and rehearsed lies and cheap media propaganda can sway Rivers people to believe in the Wike administration of deceit”.
Peterside, who spoke on Saturday in Etche during the APC senatorial rally for the rerun National Assembly election, said: “The verdict of the people is that Wike is a terrible disappointment and a wasted opportunity. It has become clear to all that the present government in Rivers State is unfit to lead Rivers people.
“This government has neglected its most fundamental duty of securing lives and property, has earned the unenviable sobriquet of number one state in kidnapping, has borrowed more money under one year than all previous governments put together yet, no single project to show for it; has a penchant for inviting personalities to commission projects executed by the Amaechi administration; legalised extortion and multiple taxation and embarked on endless biometric verification as a ploy to owe workers and pensioners six months salaries and allowances. No government has ever been as deceitful as the present government in Rivers State.
“Wike is a terrible disappointment on all fronts; he brought back abruptly over 400 students who were on state government scholarship abroad during the Amaechi administration; shut down government model primary health centres and primary schools,” Peterside stated.
The NIMASA DG described the governor as a man who pathologically hates education and wondered how Wike expects a society to progress without its citizens being educated.
“The panacea for this impending doom and generational catastrophe is for Rivers people to vote for APC legislators who will team up with other men of goodwill and rescue Rivers State from misrule, criminality, rascality and exploitation,” Peterside said.
He said the power to liberate Rivers State is in the vote of the people.
“I recall telling Rivers people that Wike has no plan on how to run Rivers State but rather poorly copied my road-map to prosperity”.
At the rally, Peterside sent some posers to the governor entitled “10 important questions Wike must provide answers to Rivers people”.
*Which government has officially promoted & supported kidnapping and under its watch over 1200 persons have been kidnapped in one year?
*Which government has superintended over the killing of over 1000 rivers people by cultists in just one year?
*Which government has borrowed more money under one year than all our previous governments from 1967 borrowed put together?
*Which government withdrew nearly 400 under-graduates sent on scholarship abroad by Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to different countries?
*Which government deceitfully wants to take credit for projects conceived and delivered by the Amaechi administration?
*Under the watch of which government has more policemen and security personnel been killed by criminals armed by same government agents than have been killed ever in our history from the creation of Rivers State?
*Under whose government is multiple taxation legalised, touting legalised, extortion made legal?
*Under which government have our schools and primary health centres closed down and our people are dying in their numbers?
*Which government has deceived itself by embarking on endless circle of BIOMETRICS as excuse to owe workers and pensioners six months salaries?
*In which government is a governor both contractor, supervisor and awarding authority?”
Peterside also predicted “an end to the Wike regime of malfeasance”.
“I have a message to you all, the end has come. Rivers people cannot be deceived by lies and propaganda, no matter how well-crafted”.
