Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that the mind-blowing state of insecurity and the killings of citizens by outlaws is a clear manifestation of failed leadership as championed by the APC in Nigeria.
According to him, it is now obvious to those who threw caution to the wind to foist such bad leadership on the people, noting that Nigeria has collapsed under the watch of the APC.
Wike made the assertion when he had an interactive session with traditional rulers, political and opinion leaders of Andoni nationality at Government House, Port Harcourt yesterday.
Expressing his displeasure, Wike said that instead of leaders being bold to speak against the ills in the land and sincerely pursue solutions to them, they indulge in sycophancy and praise-singing.

‘Nigeria has totally collapsed. Look at, today, what happened in Nasarawa and Benue States, how they slaughtered people on the road.
‘See what is happening in Niger State and the APC Governor there is crying, saying he has been talking to the Federal Government but nobody has listened to him.
‘And that Boko Haram has come to take over the state, which is closest to Abuja’
The governor recalled that when he raised alarm of the looming danger of insecurity it was politicised.
Some persons in the opposition dismissed it as mere politics ignoring the fact that the country was collapsing under their noses.
But, ironically states controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) are now the worst hit.
‘Look at Kaduna and Imo States, there is insecurity everywhere. The only anger I have with Imo State Governor is this; I don’t know how people politicise things.’
The governor berated the APC governors for claiming their party has solved the problems of hunger, unemployment, whereas they could barely stay in their State to provide governance for those who elected them.
‘Nigeria has a lot of problems and they keep running to the villa everyday to disturb Mr. President, for him to see their faces, pose for photograph and will not allow him to work.
‘You know you have crisis at your place, you can’t stay to solve it, but everyday you go to see Mr. President so that the world will know that you’re close to him.’
