With respect to the demolition of a property of Bayelsa State located in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has said that the state government never carried out such action due to political reasons but due to the negligence of the Bayelsa State government.
According to VANGUARD NEWS, he disclosed this of recent while stressing that his administration had on several occasions informed Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State but there had been no positive response.
In brief, Wike said: ” I have said it that the failure of this country is the inability of leadership to take a decision. In one of my routine inspections, I went around and saw the property. In fact, as I speak to you, no human being worth his salt would allow such structure to be there. You cannot have a property in this prime area without developing it, then criminals would use it to torment, terrorize and harass innocent people. Now, you will tell me tomorrow that Rivers State is not safe. We have no apology. As far as we are concerned the place had been brought down and we are building Judges quarters there “.
