The publisher of Ovation Magazine and a former presidential aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Dele Momodu, has alleged that the governor of River State, Nyesom Wike, is possessed by demons of anger.
Mr Momodu noted that nearly a year after the Rivers State governor lost the PDP presidential ticket to a former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, he has remained inconsolable and sulked endlessly.
Mr Momodu, who was also the director of strategic communications for the People’s Democratic Party Campaign Council, however, said he would continue to offer him prayers for God’s deliverance.
The former presidential aspirant stated this on his verified Instagram page on Wednesday.
He said, “Nearly one year after he lost Governor Nyesom Wike and the PDP presidential primary election, he remains inconsolable and continues to sulk endlessly.
“As his big brother who loves him so much, I will continue to offer him prayers so that God can deliver him fully from this demon of anger.
“Wike truly deserves our pity and prayers. He is a hardworking man who suffers from several afflictions like many mortals, the chief of which is rabid anger.”
He accused the former minister of being a control freak who expects everyone to bow and tremble before him.
“He is a control freak who expects everyone to bow and tremble before him no matter their age or influence in society.” Sometimes, when God has been so kind to a man, he may begin to see himself as God.
“Wike is gloating that Atiku lost the election, the process of which is still ongoing. But Wike has lost his own election since last year, and he is yet to recover.
“I remain a journalist without borders, while he continues to oppress his hapless and seemingly helpless victims in Rivers State. Even the Peter Obi that he stylistically intimidated out of PDP is far more relevant today,” he added.
He noted that the outgoing governor will know life better after he leaves office on May 29, 2023, adding that “no one would ever trust him” in whatever position he holds in the future.
“He will be viewed with suspicion and derision. He may become the first Governor Emeritus to live in the Government House with the new Governor or move the Governor into his own Guest chalet for the sole purpose of signing documents. It is the way the cookie crumbles, what a sad end to a brilliant career. Very unfortunate,” Mr Momodu.
