Governor Nyesom Wike’s love for the people of Cross River State is unrivalled and unpretentious.
Nyesom Wike is that proverbial good friend that is better than a bad brother. Unlike some transactional Politicians whom today have turned themselves into self-acclaimed advocates for the Southern Senatorial District, Nyesom Wike stood firm for the entire People of Cross River State, particularly the Southern Senatorial District.
When Justice Walter Onnoghen was faced with unmitigated persecution, while some Cross Riverians within the corridors of power in Abuja were busy writing copiously in Support of Justice Walter Onnoghen’s removal, Governor Nyesom Wike stood strongly for him.
Today, the same set of transactional Politicians that were busy bootlicking the Northern hegemony in Abuja and joined forces with the aristocratic Northern Cabals to remove the duo of Justice Walter Onnoghen and Mrs Winifred Oyo-ita –both from the Southern Senatorial District– are now everywhere writing patronizingly for the same Southern Senatorial District that they orchestrated the removal of their illustrious son and daughter from Office.Thankfully, karma served them their own breakfast when they least expected it.
Though, it was never my intention to travel down this memory lane but it is absolutely necessary, lest the South forget who their actual enemy is.
According to a publication made by Punch Newspaper today 7th October 2022, Governor Nyesom Wike was reported to have nominated Former Governor, Donald Duke as running mate for Atiku Abubakar, even when he had the option of nominating himself. Isn’t this another form of sacrificial love for the people of Cross River State, particularly the Southern Senatorial District? Today, a certain man that wasted his opportunity in Abuja fighting Cross Riverians especially those from the Southern Senatorial District, is now the one trying to profess love for the people of the South more than everyone else. What an act of pretentious treachery!
