PORT HARCOUTRT (Sundiata Post) – The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has descended heavily on Governor Nyesom Wike
over the sack of 344 lecturers of the Rivers State Polytechnic recruited in September 2014 by the immediate past administration of Former Governor Chibuike Amaechi. “This is madness taken too far,” Rivers APC chairman, Dr. Davies Ikanya, said Thursday in a statement in Port Harcourt. He also lamented the order handed down to the director of the institution, Mr. Obiankor Elechi, to proceed on compulsory leave with immediate effect.
“It is also being reported that the 13,200 teachers employed by Governor Amaechi to ease the suffering of unemployed Rivers youths are Programmed to be sacked by next week as part of Wike’s ‘Operation kill Amaechi’s Legacies’. Just last week, all the boards and parasatatals in Rivers State were dissolved in Wike’s bid to reconstitute and fill them with his family members and cronies,” Ikanya said.
The statement continued: “To
demonstrate his disdain for decency and promotion of nepotism, Wike appointed his immediate cousin, Surveyor Okas Wike of Emma Wike & Partners, as a director in the reconstituted Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority (GPHDA). Also appointed was his direct in-law, the immediate direct younger brother to Dr. Obuzor, his father in-law, Architect Nnamdi Obuzor, to same board of merely eight members,” the Rivers APC chairman added.
“Whatever his grievances may be, he must not vent his anger on
innocent lecturers and the poor masses of Rivers State who are not
politicians and have not offended him in any way,” Ikanya said.
