WIKE BARS JOURNALISTS FROM COVERING HIS VISIT.
FROM : AYODELE AJOGE, BIRNIN-KEBBI.
River State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Tuesday prevented Journalists from covering his Presidential ambitious consultation visit to Kebbi State.
Wike, a Presidential aspirant on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was alleged to have gave the order at the Sir Ahmad Bella International airport, Birnin-Kebbi shortly after his aircraft touched down.
Newsmen who have been waiting anxiously for his arrival at the PDP Secretariat were dazled when an official of the party walked to them and asked them to leave the hall where the consultation will hold.
"Gentlemen, please leave this place now we don't need you. His Excellency, Governor Wike has told us not to allow Journalists to cover his visit. We have just received the order now. " The Official said.
Especially, Newsmen left the hall and we're hanging around the premises waiting to meet him for an interview, unfortunately, a man believed to be one of his media aids told them the Governor would not grant any interview.
At the end of their meeting which lasted for an hour, the governor emerged from the venue of the meeting, he snubbed the Pressmen and walked away to his waiting Vehicle.
Critics of the PDP in the State have condemned governor Wike's behaviour to Journalists, wondering he think he can succeed if Newsmen are prevented from covering him.
