Nigerians won’t make the mistake of returning APC to power IN 2023 – Wike

  


Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said the federal government constituted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) has done so badly that Nigerians will not make the mistake of returning it to power in 2023.

He stated this during a visit to his Adamawa State counterpart, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on Thursday.

“PDP states are doing very well and some are angry. Let them show what they are doing instead of being angry,” Wike said.

He boasted that the PDP would take over government at the federal level come 2023 because APC has proved itself to be a failure and Nigerians would not make the mistake of returning it to power.

Wike made the boasts to newsmen after inspecting some projects being executed by his host Governor Fintiri, particularly the two flyover bridges under construction around the state capital, Yola.

The governor had expressed the surprise that so much could be done in an apparently resource-scarce state like Adamawa.

“I am shocked. I am overwhelmed by what I have seen,” Wike said during an interview with newsmen after touring the second of two flyovers under construction upon his arrival in Yola.


Fintiri, who received Wike at the International Airport, Yola, had immediately taken the visiting governor to the nearby flyover site around the city’s main market called Total Junction, after which the convoy toured the second flyover site at the part of Yola famously called Police Roundabout.

Wike, who rode round the project sites with Fintiri, told the newsmen further, “I was asking him (Fintiri) where he got the money to do these projects. To say he has done well is an understatement. He has done exceedingly well.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
