Woke Berates Dakuku Over Comments

The Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, Engr. Emeka Woke, has berated the defeated All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the 2015 elections in Rivers State, Dr Dakuku Peterside for deliberately refusing to understand the tenets of developmental philosophy in governance.
In statement in Port Harcourt, Woke regretted that Dakuku has formed the habit of making unguarded comments to gain political attention.
He said: “The attention of the Rivers State Government has been drawn to another unfortunate ranting of the defeated Rivers APC governorship candidate.
“In the unguarded statement published in one of the national dailies, Dakuku condemned the dissolution of the State Executive Council by His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Wike. This is most unfortunate and a proof that Dakuku lacks knowledge of the rudiments of governance”.
He explained that after two years of quality leadership, Wike needed to inject fresh blood to increase the tempo of delivery of democracy dividends in the state.
Woke stated that Wike was involved in rapidly developing the state after Dakuku’s boss raped the coffers of Rivers State.
According to him, Wike has the right to re-jig his cabinet at any time.
“Dakuku spent four years as Amaechi’s commissioner for works with an average of about N300billion without any meaningful improvement on the state of roads. It took the emergence of Wike to develop the road infrastructure of the state.
“Dakuku, a breastfeeding political godson of Amaechi should recall that the governors of Nasarawa, Borno, Imo, Kano, Bauchi, Lagos, among other APC state governors, have since changed their cabinets without anyone raising eyebrows. The 2015 failed APC governorship candidate should keep quiet and allow the governor concentrate on developing Rivers State”, Woke said.
He added that contrary to the allegation by Dakuku, the governor has improved the fortunes of traditional rulers, and has shown them respect.
The chief of staff to the Rivers State governor noted that the governor was constructing a befitting secretariat for traditional rulers in the state.
Woke said rather than make noise, the defeated Rivers APC governorship and his principal, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi should present their scorecards as representatives of Rivers State to the people.
