Stop Deceiving Nigerians By Criticizing Buhari Now – Wike Attack Atiku

On Thursday, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike criticized Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, for challenging President Muhammadu Buhari over the uneven composition of his cabinet.

Wike challenged Atiku to quit deceiving Nigerians after he remained mute for seven years.

Atiku had criticized Buhari’s administration for the unequal appointments in the nation’s security structure.

Assuring that all areas would be represented if he were elected president, Atiku emphasized the fact that more than 17 chiefs of security agencies under the Buhari government are from the North.

But on Thursday in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Wike scorned Atiku’s statement.

Speaking, Wike said: “When I hear people go to town hall meetings and they say all kinds of things they say. They say “I will implement restructuring, they will make sure every zone will have a member in the security council, that it is not good for one zone to produce all the security chiefs.

“Why are Nigerians so gullible that anything they hear they take? If you want to say I will implement this or do this, I will say okay this one you have now start from here. If you cannot do this one, can you do the other one when you are there?

“Nobody should deceive us. There are many people, who have left offices for years; you see those who are surrounding them, are broke. All they want to do is to have the opportunity to come back to power. Nigerians must open their eyes.

“Some people now are criticising Buhari for appointing all the service chiefs from the North, why did they not challenge Buhari since? Election has come and they are talking. Who is fooling who?

“All these past seven years, you couldn’t challenge Buhari of doing that and now the election has come and you want to win our hearts. We know ourselves. Nobody can fool anybody. Some people say they would form a government of national unity. It is not talking, start now to implement it.”
