Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chairman and ex-Nigerian Ambassador to South Korea, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as the “naked wire” of Rivers politics.
Akawor, who is the ex-Director-General of Nyesom Wike’s 2015 governorship campaign, said Wike’s feat had shown that President Bola Tinubu picked the right product from the PDP to work with.
He disclosed this while leading the
Rivers State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and members of the state House of Assembly to celebrate with Wike on his 58th birthday.
Wike, who clocked 58 on Friday, had his residence in Abuja flooded with friends and associates who came to felicitate with him.
Speaking last night, Ambassador Akawor while eulogizing Wike made reference to Psalm 90 verse 12, where “the Lord teach us to number our days.”
He said: “Your excellency, on behalf of the zonal Coordinators of the Renewed Hope, the 23 Coordinators, 319 Coordinators at the Ward level, and the 6,866 unit leaders of Rivers State. Here you have all the local government Chairmen of Rivers State and all the Assembly members are here with you this night.
We will always pray for you, you have showcased this government and Mr President that he made the right choice, that he looked for the right product from the Peoples Democratic Party and you have not failed him.
You will continue to sore high and of course, it’s only the tree that has the right fruits that the children will stone.
“The truth is that stones will come but we know you. As the naked wire of Rivers politics, you will struggle and get over it, we wish you good luck.”
