Paris Club Refund: Group Faults Governor Wike, of cheap media blackmail against a patriot
…. Says His Words Are Not Correlating.
The Executive Governor of Rivers State, Barr. Nyesome Wike had in illogical imprudence, chastised Ned Nwoko for laying claims to the Paris Club Refund of $418m for his legal services. However, the money is $68m and not $418m as the Governor claimed.
Money the international lawyer genuinely earned and approved by the Federal Government following various Federal High Court of appeal and Supreme Court judgements, Federal Government and Presidential approvals and 3 separate EFCC reports supporting the payment.
When has demands for professional fees duly sanctioned by statutory authorities and scrutinized by anti -corruption agencies like EFCC and DSS become “fraud”? We are appalled by Wike’s wicked and despicable wild goose chase.
This is a legitimate entitlement of Hon. Ned Nwoko, whose patriotic ingenuity as a time- honoured lawyer, secured billions of dollars in favour of local and State Governments including Wike’s administration as a beneficiary. Rivers State Governor, Barr Neyosom Wike received a whopping share of over 60 billion Naira from the Paris Club refunds to States, thanks to the sterner stuff of Hon. Ned Nwoko who took the Federal Government to Courts on behalf of the States and local Governments and won, over the arbitrary deductions.
In a press conference by Amb Godwin Erheriene, of the CSO, the group accused the Governor of “cheap media blackmail against a patriot who has contributed immensely to the legislative sector, when he was at the National Assembly, Green Chamber. His love towards Nigeria made him championed the Paris Club Refunds via his International legal firm which help Nigeria Government recovered billions of dollars for National interest.
Hon. Ned Nwoko has contributed heavily to the development of this country compared to so many political officers holders who are wasting public funds for unnecessary projects and some white elephant projects as an avenue to syphon public funds.
It’s time we start appreciating hardworking patriot in this country so that others can emulate them to contribute their own quota to the development of this country.
If we keep towing this line of political witch-hunt and the “let’s bring him down syndrome”, for envious reason, we will never get it right. It’s time we start encouraging those that truly mean well for this country even if we have different political ideology. Let’s National interest be our driving force in all our endeavors in this country as Nigeria is our only country.
