The APC governorship aspirant in the 2015 election said Wike’s government is full of deceit and fraud, even as he challenged the Rivers governor to show one project he has done for his people after one year in office.

Dakuku Peterside accuses Gov Nyesom Wike of being interested in borrowing money to host events as well as operating a 419 government.

Peterside said: “Wike’s government is a government of 419. They went to bring court order. Fake court order, an order of deceit.

“Let me tell you this, and you can take it to the bank, no amount of well-organized lied can dissuade Rivers people. We are resolute, we want good governance and that government is the APC government led by Rotimi Amaechi.

“In just one year we constructed Peter Odili road and yet they went to resurface a one kilometre road and went to bring a governor from Sokoto to come and commission it.

“I challenge this fraudulent government to show us one project they have conceived and completed in the last one year.”

But in a swift reaction, Samuel Wonosike, the Rivers state publicity secretary of the PDP, described Peterside’s allegations as falsehood and urged Rivers people to disregard it.

Wonosike maintained that the people of Rivers state are happy with the developmental projects put in place by Governor Nyesom Wike.

The APC in Rivers last month recalled that barely 13 days after his swearing in, Governor Nyesom Wike on June 11, 2015 took a loan of N10 billion claiming same to be for provision of infrastructure in the state.

Again on June 30, 2015 the party claimed he obtained a N20 billion loan from a commercial bank. This was followed with another loan of N30 billion on July 8, 2015.

Not done yet, the governor obtained yet another loan of N10 billion on November 12, 2015. This was later followed with another loan of N10 billion the governor obtained on April 8, 2016. At the risk of losing count on the total loan profile of Gov. Nyesom Wike, records show that the governor has obtained an unprecedented total of N90 billion as loan since becoming governor of Rivers state.
