Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has said the baffling state of insecurity and unchallenged killings of citizens by outlaws in parts of the country was a manifestation of bad leadership.
He said it was obvious to those who threw caution to the wind to foist such bad leadership that Nigeria had collapsed.
Wike, in a statement on Tuesday by his Special Assistant Media, Kelvin Ebiri, made the assertion when he had an interactive session with traditional rulers, political and opinion leaders of Andoni nationality at Government House, Port Harcourt.
The Governor said instead of leaders to be bold to speak against the ills in the land and sincerely pursue solutions to them, they indulge in sycophancy.
He said: “Nigeria has totally collapsed. Look at, today, what happened in Nasarawa and Benue States, how they slaughtered people on the road.
“See what is happening in Niger State and the APC Governor there is crying, saying he has been talking to the Federal Government but nobody has listened to him. And that Boko Haram has come to take over the state, which is closest to Abuja.”
The Governor said when he raised the alarm of the looming danger of insecurity, it was politicised by some persons in the opposition, who dismissed it as mere politics.
But he said states controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) were the worst hit.
He said: “Look at Kaduna and Imo States, there is insecurity everywhere. The only anger I have with Imo State Governor is this; I don’t know how people politicise things.”
The Governor castigated APC governors for claiming their party had solved the problems of hunger and unemployment, saying they could barely stay in their states to provide governance for those who elected them.
He said: “Nigeria has a lot of problems and they keep running to the Villa every day to disturb Mr. President for him to see their faces, pose for photograph and will not allow him to work.
“You know you have crisis at your place, you can’t stay to solve it but every day you go to see Mr. President so that the world will know that you’re close to him.”
Wike assured the Andoni axis of the Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity Road project would be completed by August 2021 because the contractor has been so directed.
