PDP Scribe Blasts Princewill Over Comments On Wike
Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Samuel Nwanosike, has lashed out at three-time gubernatorial candidate in the state, Prince Tonye Princewill, over his remarks, faulting projects and policies of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike.
Nwanosike, who responded to Princewill’s remarks via a phone-in radio programme organised by Silverbird Communications in Port Harcourt, last Saturday, challenged the former governorship candidate to tell Rivers people where he has seen such a world-class recreational centre as Pleasure Park in the country.
The PDP spokesman also explained the rationale behind including the opposition parties in the caretaker committees of the local governments, stating that Wike was poised to run an inclusive government as against All Progressives Congress (APC) attempts to stifle and kill opposition.
On the Pleasure Park, Nwanosike said, “the park remains one unique and outstanding project of the Wike administration for entertainment and leisure of Rivers people.”
He also carpeted Princewill on his remarks on job creation, stressing that, “his mind is fixated on the traditional jobs generation technique of direct employment into the civil service. Even, the traditional jobs generation is being revolutionised to accommodate Rivers people in all the LGAs”.
In the same vein, Special Adviser to Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, in a statement following the appearance of Princewill on Rhythm 93.7 FM in Port Harcourt, at the weekend, described the three-time guber candidate as “aggrieved” and “public relations” personality.
The governor’s media aide explained that Wike’s focus on state-wide infrastructural development has been premised on employment generation and community empowerment.
Meanwhile, Princewill has admitted that, “Wike has done some very good things…It’s not everything that Wike has done that is bad.”
The former guber candidate pointed out that Wike did well in reviving and granting independence to the judiciary following almost two years closure of the courts by former Governor Chibuike Amaechi.
He reiterated his claims that Amaechi had mismanaged the state funds and was “running around scot-free,” stating that his criticism of Amaechi was “not about friendship and association.”
