Hypocritical acts – Labour party blasts Wike for backing Tinubu

"We are hearing that our Governor...suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket..."

The Labour Party, LP, in Rivers State has criticized Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state for allegedly supporting the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu.

During a briefing with journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, the National Vice Chairman, South South of the Labour Party, Favour Reuben, accused Wike of acting out of self-interest.

What Labour Party's chieftain said: Reuben argued that Wike's previous descriptions of the APC as cancer and the PDP as malaria meant that he should have sought a cure for these "deadly diseases" in the form of Peter Obi instead.

In his words: “We are hearing that our Governor (Wike, who few years back declared our state as a Christian State because he was running for election, has made a U-turn overnight and suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket because of his personal interest.

“The Wike we all know is not a coward that will surreptitiously ask his PDP followers to work for Tinubu of the APC without coming out openly, but if this is true, then we are in trouble and our PVCs should speak for us, being the only tool at our disposal to usher in a Government that will ameliorate our suffering, both at the State and Federal level.

“Secondly, our Governor (Wike) said APC is cancer, while PDP is malaria, so I will be expecting the Governor to look for the cure of these deadly diseases and the only cure is the Labour Party driven by Peter Gregory Obi, who has been tested and trusted in Governance.”

Questioning Wike's values: Ruben finally noted that Governor Wike’s support for a man, whose region in the South has produced a president and currently the Vice President of the country, questions his principle of equity, fairness and justice.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
