Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has faulted the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, on his accusation that governors in Nigeria’s troubled states foment troubles to inflate security votes.
Governor Wike of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, who spoke Saturday, May 4, 2019 through the Rivers commissioner for information and communications, Emma Okah, insisted that Magu was being “economical with the truth“.
“Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, disagrees with the EFCC Chairman in his comment, because Rivers State is hungry for funds to execute projects,” Okah said.
“We do not need a crime decoy. It is a bad omen and anathema. We pray and fight against violence or high-calibre crimes in Rivers State.
