Nigerian Publisher of Ovation Internation, Dele Momodu, has written a letter to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, amidst the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), advising him to thread softly before it becomes too late.
Newsflash Nigeria understands that Wike and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar have been in a running battle, following the outcome of the party’s presidential primary election.
The former PDP presidential aspirant praised Governor Wike for his exceptional work and achievement in Rivers State but urged him never to take a decision based on anger or destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
According to Momodu, Wike’s anger is not out of place, however, he needs to apply a break before it becomes late.
“Many politicians survive only on power. My Brother, I love you. But someone must be able to tell you the truth. No General fights on too many fronts. Please, apply the brakes, before it is too late,” he said.
Momodu made the plea in a statement titled, “My Kobo Advice to Governor Nyesom Wike,” which he issued via his verified Instagram handle on Thursday.
He said, “My dear Brother, good evening. I have watched you in recent months with trepidation. I’m scared about your inability to comprehend the country called Nigeria. You must have underrated how the owners of Nigeria operate.
“I studied the biography of CHIEF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO. I was an insider in the June 12 1993 crisis, and a veritable witness to the tribulations of my great mentor, CHIEF MOSHOOD ABIOLA. Closer home, you must have seen how your predecessor, DR PETER ODILI, was stopped in his tracks in 2007.
“You’re certainly one of Nigeria’s best performing Governors, if not the best. Personally, I’m very proud of your uncommon achievements. I know you are very angry. It is your right to be. But I’m begging you in the name of God not to take decisions based on anger… Nigeria has been very kind to you. Rivers State has been extremely generous to you.
“GOD has blessed you beyond imagination. You have such a beautiful family. Your people love you stupendously for services delivered to them. PDP has been your solid platform.
“You should never destroy a bridge after crossing the river. Even if you no longer need the bridge, what of your friends and family? I pray you kill this excessive and perpetual ANGER.
“It is getting out of hand. Most people around you will keep quiet for fear of losing patronage.
“Many politicians survive only on power. My Brother, I love you. But someone must be able to tell you the truth. No General fights on too many fronts. Please, apply the brakes, before it is too late.”, he said.
