“You have a Minister, Nyesom Wike, who does no work in the Ministry [where lecturers are on strike] but is gallivanting all over Nigeria and the world in the interest of Rivers State politics and President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 ambitions.

“You have a man, Chinda, who suffers no life-threatening injuries but who is flown on the president’s order to London at public expense. You have a man who could have been treated in any local hospital for superficial injuries but was shamelessly shipped abroad…

“You have an entire army of men flown from Nigeria to London in First Class at public expense to go and pose for fake pictures and collect large allowances all because they have in Abuja a man who does not give a damn about fighting corruption. It gives an all-familiar meaning to the term:
Wike-leaks!”

Investigations by Sahara Reporters show that Rivers State legislator, Hon Michael Chinda, was discharged from London’s Bupa Cromwell Hospital on Saturday, a day after the Minister of State for Education, Nyeson Wike, took a delegation there on a “fake” courtesy visit and posed for pictures by his bedside.

A hospital official disclosed in London on Wednesday that Hon Chinda had since been discharged because he did not have any life-threatening injuries.
