- Governor Nyesom Wike has been described as the worst governor in the history of Rivers state
- Andrew Uchendu, Senator-elect representing Rivers East Senatorial District in the National Assembly made this claim recently
- He also accused the governor of always being on the war part
Andrew Uchendu has described the administration of Governor Nyesom Wike as the worst in the history of the state.
Uchendu who is a Senator-elect representing Rivers East Senatorial District in the National Assembly said this while speaking with journalists on Tuesday, August 29, shortly after receiving the certificate of return from May Agbamuche-Mbu, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Commissioner in charge of the south-south, Punch reports.
According to him, he is ready to contribute his quota to the development of the state.

He said: “I have come to contribute my only little quota. A series of administrations have come and they made their individual contributions but the worst in mind, by my own personal evaluation, is that of the present governor who lacks the capacity to come up with vision that will impact meaningfully on the life of the people of the state.
“He is always on the war path. I have promised and vowed that I will extend my hand of fellowship to him. Possibly with my age I might be in a better position to guide him, it cannot be war, war, war and war all the time. Look at (Governor Akinwunmi) Ambode of Lagos state, he has programmes for the young, the orphans, the elderly and the entire citizenry.
“Wike knows that it was my responsibility as the chairman of Rotimi Amaechi Political Think Tank to tutor him for 12 good years. He was only a local government chairman. That platform raised him to be chief of staff, to be made a minister and I remain the chairman of that think tank.
“If he says I am nobody, then really he is the worst governor that Rivers State has ever had. He is the least exposed, he is the least traveled, he is intellectually incapacitated, and haven’t got the requisite leadership capacity.”
