Wike, rubbishing office of Governor – Amaechi’s loyalist, Tolofari

 


Former Commissioner for Transport in Rivers State, George Tolofari has bemoaned Governor Nyesom Wike and other chieftains of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for their comments over the Osborne Towers, Ikoyi recovery, where huge sum of money was found.
Tolofari in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said Wike had brought the exalted office of the Executive governor to disrepute.

He accused Wike and his counterpart from Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose of deploying a diversionary tactic to shift the attention of the real owner of the found money.
Tolofari said, “What Wike, Fayose, Femi Fani-Kayode and Lere did were just diversionary. They played with the psyche and intelligence of Nigerians.
“These persons are not happy with Rt. Hon. Amaechi because he played a major role in sending a corrupt government, for which these accusers belonged, out of power.

“The mention of Amaechi’s name by these men was a well calculated attempt to rubbish the fight against corruption.
“They know Jonathan was linked to that money as has been proven today. It will amuse Nigerians that Jonathan has kept mum since this saga broke out. He has neither refuted it nor confirmed it like he usually does in the past.
“For Wike, I will say he has brought disrepute to the exalted and honourable Office Of The Governor Of Rivers State by his antics, comments, actions and inactions, which have brought embarrassment to Rivers people since he assumed that office.

“Indeed, as politicians, leaders in the society and public officers who hold offices and positions of trust for the people, we must be conscious of what we say at every given time. This is because our opinions matter and are weighty in the public space and they shape the views of the people we lead.”
