Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has advised the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, to think before he talks on political matters, particularly as they concern the Peoples Democratic Party he pretends to love more than other members of the party.

Uzodinma also insisted that he did not have any regret in his comment that the PDP and characters like Wike were instrumental to the attempted plot to remove the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Adams Oshiomhole.

Wike had crudely berated Uzodinma on national television on Tuesday in a manner many wondered if the office the Rivers State Governor occupied today was the same those who came before him did.

According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to Governor Uzodinma, Mr Oguwike Nwachuku on Wednesday, Uzodinma said that Wike arrogated to himself the strength he did not have going by the way he talked.

The release said:

“There is no better way to pin Governor Wike down to the recent crisis rocking the APC and its National Chairman than the careless way he spoke against Governor Uzodinma who obviously was echoeing what many already know about Wike and his type of politics.”

“Is it not unfortunate that Governor Wike pretends to have a court injunction on how to speak carelessly, the reason many erstwhile members of the PDP, including founding members, had abandoned the Party which is about to collapse on Wike’s head.”

“Rather than engage in some kind of introspection on what went wrong with his Party, Governor Wike thinks that trivializing serious issues of national and international importance will bring accolades his way”.

“If Governor Wike did not have a hand in the Oshiomhole saga, why insult innocent Governor Uzodinma whose only crime was that he brought Wike’s mischief tendencies to the fore for everyone to see?”

“Governor Wike pretends to love the Judiciary more than anyone else, but the truth is that every opportunity he gets to stand the judiciary on the head he does so with relish”.

“Mr. Governor, your interest in the attempted removal of the National Chairman of the APC is legion and you know it. Unlike most of you, Governor Uzodinma does not talk much and when he does it is not frivolous. Stop pretending because that has been the lot of characters like you that did the PDP in and ready to bury it finally.”
