Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has described the former Ijaw Youth Council leader, Asari Dokubo as unserious person based on the recent declaration by Dokubo that he is now the leader of Biafra.
Speaking on the issue of insecurity around the country, the governor reiterated that if the federal government had taken decisive action to tackle kidnapping when the Rivers State government appealed for assistance, the menace may not have spread to all parts of the country.
He urged the Nigerian media to stop giving credence to the activities of the likes of Dokubo and focus on more pressing challenges facing the nation.
“I have consistently told the government of today, in as much as you politicize the issue of security you cannot get it right. Until we take the issue of security serious, not by coming on television to say we killed 200 bandits, which nobody saw.
We killed 200 Boko Haram which nobody saw.”
The governor recalled that when Rivers State was faced with security crisis, most of the APC governors in the North, claimed he was playing politics. He wondered if they could make similar assertion now that they are grappling with same challenge.
