The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has cautioned the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, against speaking under the influence of alcohol.
Atiku gave the words of caution in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, in Abuja, yesterday, in response to comments made by the governor while addressing his supporters, in Port Harcourt.
“‘As they were protesting, I just sat down and took a 40-year whisky. I called some of my friends and opened the 40-year-old whisky as they were protesting’.
“Governor Wike has confirmed what we all know. That he is a drunkard. The protest that was led by Waziri Atiku Abubakar on Monday, March 6, was against the stealing of the mandate of the Nigerian people, which in itself was a noble cause.
“For the sake of clarity, the protest occurred around 11.30 am. Governor Wike says he was drinking whisky during the protest at 11.30 am on a Monday.
“This reveals the sort of man he is — a dipsomaniac who abandons his official duties on Monday morning to binge on whisky.
“This explains the reason for his coarse voice, which is similar to that of a motor park tout.
“It is obvious that Governor Wike also dances under the influence of alcohol. No wonder it is characterized by aesthetic vulgarity.
“Wike’s vituperations and wailings had nothing to do with ensuring that the South produced the next President.
