Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has berated Governor Adams Oshiomhole over his penchant for lies and his inconsistencies and panic over the rejection  of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State.

River State Governor Wike stated that it was completely untrue that he and his Delta State counterpart, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa mobilised militants to Edo State.

The governor also denied an allegation by Oshiomhole that he sent N2 billion to the Edo State PDP governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Speaking when he granted audience  to the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Rivers State, at the Government House, Port Harcourt,  yesterday,  Governor Wike  said  that  it was shocking  that at his age, Oshiomhole still believed  in drama and lies.

He said that he was shocked by Oshiomhole’s allegation because on the day of the campaign,  he met with the outgoing governor alongside other APC governors at the Benin Airport where they all embraced.
“Oshiomhole even cornered me and said ‘don’t mind these people,  they don’t know that we meet and talk.

“If Oshiomhole has lost the confidence of his people, he should not blame me. He brought the President and 10 APC governors and he was not satisfied. Only because two PDP governors visited Edo State, Oshiomhole is panicking.
“Oshiomhole at his age should  stop dramatising  and telling lies. What will his children say when they see him behave like that?
“If you cannot win election, you cannot win election no matter the number  of  security reports that you write.

“Oshiomhole doesn’t know when to stop lying. Why do you think  that you  will continue  to  deceive  the people?  This was the same man who praised former President Goodluck Jonathan for promoting  free and fair election,  one man, one vote, which saw Oshiomhole  win a second  term.
“Today, in his notorious inconsistency, anywhere Oshiomhole  goes, he insults the former President.  When President  Buhari leaves office, Oshiomhole  will  do the same to him,” he said.

Wike noted that he was in Edo to campaign for  the PDP  the same way that Oshiomhole stormed Rivers State in 2015 to campaign for  the then APC governorship candidate  in the state.
He charged Nigerians to disregard Oshiomhole’s lies as he is no longer pro-people.
He said: “The Comrade in Oshiomhole has died long ago. There is no Comrade in him. From Khaki,  he is now wearing costly  imported Safari Suits.”
