Dele Momodu, the founder of Ovation Magazine, recently revisited the advice he previously offered to Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State. This reflection came after an incident in which agitated protesters dismantled a statue of Wike in Rivers State, which Momodu shared on his official X handle on Tuesday.
As reported by THE VANGUARD, the protesters not only tore down the effigy of Wike but also destroyed billboards and banners bearing his image. The unrest underscores the mounting tensions in the region.
Responding to the developments, Dele Momodu recounted the counsel he had imparted to Wike in a post titled, “My Kobo Advice To Governor Nyesom Wike.” In this advisory message, Momodu implored Wike to avoid making decisions driven by anger.
On his page, Momodu expressed his sentiments as follows:
“You’re certainly one of Nigeria’s best performing Governors, if not the best. Personally, I’m very proud of your uncommon achievements. I know you are very angry. It is your right to be. But I’m begging you in the name of God not to take decisions based on anger. Nigeria has been very kind to you. Rivers State has been extremely generous to you. God has blessed you beyond imagination. You have such a beautiful family. Your people love you stupendously for services delivered to them. PDP has been your solid platform. You should never destroy a bridge after crossing the river. Even if you no longer need the bridge, what of your friends and family? I pray you kill this excessive and perpetual anger. It is getting out of hand. Most people around you will keep quiet for fear of losing patronage. Many politicians survive only on power. My Brother, I love you”…..Sée Móre
