Nigeria Doesn’t Have A Proper Commander-in-chief – Wike

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike said if there were a proper Commander-in-Chief, bandits and insurgent groups will not be allowed to drag the country down to the level of unrestrained killings of innocent Nigerians.

Governor Wike described a country going down to mean a place where hunger is not addressed, insecurity is allowed to fester, and marauding bandits killing Nigerians without restriction.

The Rivers State governor decried the Nigeria situation when he met with delegates of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State on Monday, to solicit votes as he seeks to become the presidential flag bearer of the party.

“A proper Commander-in-Chief will never allow this country to go down like this. What am I doing with the service chiefs? Their business is to protect Nigeria and Nigerians.

“Look at our country, every day, the only project we get is people have died. The only project Nigeria continues to get is that 55 people have been killed in Zamfara yesterday.”

The presidential aspirant maintained that the All Progressives Congress-led federal government has failed in its primary responsibility to protect life and property, hence, has no business being in governance.

“First in the oath of office is the protection of life and property. Any government that cannot protect life and property then that you have no business to being governance and APC has no business to being governance.”
