Member of the House of Representatives for Port Harcourt Constituency II, Chinyere Igwe, owner of Mega Tools Filling Station in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt sealed by security operatives on the orders of Governor Nyesom Wike is now regretting ever supporting him to emerge as governor of the oil-rich Rivers State.
He also described the governor as an ungrateful person.
Igwe in an interview said he and others who worked to make Wike governor “made a mistake”, and went further to apologize to Rivers people for the prominent role he played in making Wike governor.
“I apologise to Rivers people for supporting Governor Nyesom Wike to be governor of Rivers State,”
“Since Nyesom Wike became governor, he has not established or encouraged any business. If you go to Trans-Amadi, the industrial hub of Rivers State, all businesses are dead,” said.
Port Harcourt Spectator had reported that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike had last week, after sealing three businesses belonging to supporters of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, warned owners and proprietors of hotels and entertainment centres against using their premises to host any gathering for the recruitment of thugs for the elections.
The governor warned that the state government would not hesitate to pull down any such facility that yields itself for use to any political party for use of recruiting thugs or any other activities that threaten the peace and security of the state.
The governor issued the warning on Sunday during a state-wide broadcast saying that the government was in possession of an “intelligence report on some misguided politicians who have started the process of recruiting cultists, supporters and ex-convicts as thugs in furtherance of their political aspirations for 2023.
Wike went further to order the arrest of Chinyere Igwe for alleged involvement in illegal oil bunkering.
