Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has voiced displeasure with the country’s current state, claiming that there is nothing like Nigeria to be celebrated.
Wike was seen speaking at a sermon in a church as part of activities to mark the 2021 Independence Day, according to a video obtained by Gistfox News.
Govenor Wike, who referred to Nigeria as an elderly man at the age of 61, said the country is marked by hatred, division, and hostility, emphasizing that certain people in positions of authority despise the entire country because of a single individual.
The Governor chastised the National Assembly for allegedly misleading Nigerians, particularly in relation to the executive’s frequent approval of loans.
Wike expressed disappointment with the lawmaker’s failure to inquire about the monenies’ use.
He further claimed that there is no court in the country, claiming that those in power had intimidated them.
He emphasized that Nigerian judges had abdicated their duties out of dread of the unknown.
He said, “You have a child that is 61 years old. In the next few days, Nigeria will be 61 years old. So many people celebrate when they get to 60 years thanking God.
“Now Nigeria is 61 years but the only reason why we can thank God is because there still appears a name called ‘Nigeria’. That is the only reason we are thanking God. But indeed, is there anything called Nigeria?
“An old man at 61 years, full of enmity, division and hatred. At 61 years, you hate a state because of an individual, discriminating against some people because of their religion, because of where they come from. And we are here clapping hands for Nigeria.
“At 61 years old, where is legislature? A legislature that cannot think, a legislature that anything they bring is right. A legislature that cannot say that Nigeria has come to the age of conducting a free and fair election.
“A legislature that would close its eyes and say “anytime you want to borrow, borrow”. A legislature that will not ask questions “this money that you are borrowing, where is it”?
“61 year old, giant of Africa. The money they are borrowing, where are they applying it? We have no congress to ask questions.
“Indeed what are we celebrating at 61 years old? Where are the courts? The judges are been intimidated, they have abandoned their responsibilities out of fear of what would happen”.
