You’re political hustler – Wike replies Ugochinyere
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has said the House of Representative member from Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere should be in jail for impersonation.
This was as Wike described Ugochinyere as a political hustler trying to satisfy his paymasters from Rivers State.
He was reacting to the lawmaker’s remark that he was playing kindergarten and childish politics in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike was reacting to Ugochinyere’s comment on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Friday in which he accused him and the G-5 governors of trying to destroy PDP.
Ugochinyere also accused Wike of playing childish and kindergarten politics in PDP.
Reacting through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, warned the lawmaker to stop making unfounded claims about him.
A statement by Olayinka reads partly: “If PDP had functioned properly, would Ugochinyere have gotten the party’s ticket while still in another party? Even till today, as a PDP Rep member, Ugochinyere is still holding on to his Action Peoples Party APP, using it to cash out in Rivers State.
“Therefore, we on this side are not bothered because we understand why Ugochinyere must now mount the podium and accuse Wike of playing childish and kindergarten politics. He must satisfy those feeding him from the resources of Rivers State.”
He also mocked the lawmaker for always having an organisation to speak for to carry out his “political hustle.”
“In saner climes, such a character would have been arrested, tried and jailed for impersonation. When he got to the House of Representatives and there was no title under which his political hushpuppism would continue, he awarded to himself a non-existing title of ‘Spokesperson of Opposition Lawmakers Coalition in the 10th National Assembly,’ claiming to have been so appointed by the Coalition of United Political Parties.
“Being the political hustler that he has always been, Ugochinyere knew that he would be contravening the rules of the National Assembly by allocating to himself a non-existing position, but he just must have a title to keep his hustle going, and indeed, it has been booming,” the statement articulated.
