Gov. Wike reveals why FG ”deliberately” shielded Prince Charles from Niger Delta

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has frowned at the Federal
government for confining the visit of the Prince Charles of Wales to
only Abuja and Lagos.

The Duke and Duchess of Cornwell are on a three-day working visit to Nigeria.

But Governor Wike while hosting international preacher, Evangelist
Daniel Kolenda at Government House in Port Harcourt criticised the
Federal Government for shielding Prince Charles of Wales from the
Niger Delta that produces the nation's wealth.

He said the actions of the APC Federal Government in the course of the
visit of Prince of Wales underscored the negativity that has
characterised governance under the present administration.

According to him, "The Prince of Wales came to Nigeria and they took
him to Abuja and Lagos. They didn't want him to see the suffering
people of the Niger Delta.

"It is our money and resources that they used to develop Lagos and
Abuja. Yet they did not want the Prince of Wales to see how they have
neglected the area that produces the wealth of the nation.

"Look at the sitting arrangement of their photograph with the Prince
of Wales and where they placed the producers of national wealth?"
