‘Oshiomhole, Out Of Touch’

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has berated Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over his penchant for lies and inconsistencies, simply because he is in a panic mood over the alleged rejection of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State.
Wike, who carpeted Oshiomhole over his recent remark that he (Wike) and his Delta State counterpart, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, mobilised militants to Edo State ahead the elections, said the claim was childish and lacks substance.
The governor further denied the false allegation by Oshiomhole that he sent N2billion to the Edo State PDP governorship candidate.
Speaking when he granted audience to the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Rivers State, at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Wednesday, Wike said that it was shocking that at his age, Oshiomhole still believes in drama and lies.
The IPAC comprises all registered political parties.
Only the All Progressives Congress (APC), was absent at the solidarity visit by the registered political parties to Wike.
He said that he was shocked by Oshiomhole’s allegation because on the day of the campaign, he met with the outgoing governor alongside other APC governors at the Benin Airport where they all embraced.
“Oshiomhole even cornered me, and said ‘don’t mind these people, they don’t know that we meet and talk”, he said.
He said: “If Oshiomhole has lost the confidence of his people, he should not blame me. He brought the President and 10 APC governors, and he was not satisfied. Only because two PDP governors visited Edo State, Oshiomhole is panicking.
“Oshiomhole at his age should stop dramatising and telling lies. What will his children say when they see him behave like that”.
Wike added: “If you cannot win election, you cannot win election no matter the number of security reports that you write.
