The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has thrown shades at a former House of Representatives member, Ned Nwoko, over his recent comments.
In a recent interview, Ned had subtly shaded Wike, stating that the reason the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, didn’t pick the governor as his running mate was due to his troublesome scandals.
But in a statement released on Thursday, Wike stated that the only achievement Ned Nwoko can boast of is marrying younger women so therefore he has no right to criticise him.
Wike also referred to Nwoko as a ‘pedophile’.
He said his fellow partyman met him in the PDP and that he doesn’t have a political structure.
According to the governor, Ned should face his ‘pyramid of wives’ instead of focusing on him.
He said, “One man who has been busy marrying all the young girls in Nigeria came out and was talking nonsense about me in BBC news interview that Atiku dumped me because I am a trouble maker.
“Ned Nwoko should tell Nigerians what he has achieved ever since he joined politics other than jumping from one little girl to another. A paedophile coming to talk to me a sitting governor should hide his face in shame.
“I joined PDP before him, he has no political structure in PDP. I have a higher stake in PDP than he. If he’s man enough let him contest for PDP presidential primary election and watch if he will get one single vote.
“This is a man after drinking Ogogoro mixed with burukutu, he will go in search of little girls to defile. His only achievement since he joined politics is marrying different kinds of women and this is the type of person PDP Delta State gave the mandate to contest for Senatorial position in the forthcoming election. Is that how Nigeria is going to change for the better?
“Ned Nwoko should face the pyramid of wives he gathered in his house and leave Wike alone. It’s obvious he no longer thinks straight like a normal human being. Tell me, how can one man marry over 6 wives and still have his brain intact?”
