The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has caught the funny bug. He cuts the sharp, narrow silhouette of an aggressive jester. Only a jester can be audacious enough to appoint a Special Assistant on Street/Traffic Lights.
He appointed Daye Graham-Douglas as his Special Assistant on Street/Traffic Lights. The governor in an online statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, yesterday stated that the appointment took immediate effect.
Wike remains just one thing, and one thing only—and that is a clown. It places him on a far higher plane than any politician. There is no gainsaying Governor Wike loves been in the news. He loves to hug the spotlight as a stage actress craves the applause of a listening audience but his latest antic no doubt blew up in his face as the citizenry that elected him into office severally condemned his action, stressing that they elected him to make life better for them.
