“Whatever be the public perception, I know Wike very well even more than those who claim to be close to him. He would never do anything stupid as attempting to take Lt Yerima out!
“He would rather avoid the Army or find his way to resolve the issue with the retired Naval Chief.”

Publisher of the Beam News Magazine and President of a nongovernmental advocacy organization – Citizens Quest for Truth Initiative, Chief Christie Obiaruko Ndukwe has opined that the purported assassination attempt on Lieutenant Yerima may not be unconnected with the antics of the foes of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, who were bent on the recent faceoff he had with the Naval lieutenant to take his pound of flesh.
Chief Obiaruko link the situation to a scenerio that, “A student who belonged to a particular frat had a problem with a lecturer who caught him in exam malpractice. The student was asked to sign an undertaking that nothing would happen to the lecturer. He did and that’s where the problem started! It became his responsibility to protect the lecturer from any attack. Why? Just wait for the reason.”
Continuing she said: “His rival frat group could attack the lecturer just to rope him in! So, he was in a dilemma until he graduated and left.”
According to the publisher, “Now, see this one. The young Lieutenant who went viral for sticking to the orders of his superior, a three-star General and a retired Service Chief and engaged the Minister of the FCT politely but firmly, is reported to have escaped assassination in Abuja, a few days after the incident.”
Obiaruko who was reacting to the recent assassination attempt on Lieutenant Yerima’s life via her Facebook page noted that, “It was expected! Yes, I said so. But why? Because the Minister is in the eye of the storm! The PDP crisis and the Abuja land controversies. Some are recent issues while some are old political foes. Someone who is thinking like the rival frat group in the story above MAY have chosen to do dirty and let it rob off on Wike. Yes, you heard me! Especially when very many people have an impression of him.
“Whatever be the public perception, I know Wike very well even more than those who claim to be close to him. He would never do anything stupid as attempting to take Lt Yerima out!
“He would rather avoid the Army or find his way to resolve the issue with the retired Naval Chief.
“But what Wike would fail to do is to provide protection for Yerima. He may not have the wisdom like the student above to do the needful.”
She concluded by stating that, “Maybe just maybe if he had tendered a public apology to the President and C-in-C, the Military, and Nigerians in that Press Conference, his traducers and rivals may not have attempted to take out Yerima. Sometimes in leadership, wisdom has to prevail over impulse and retreat over ego. Time to reflect! I still maintain: Dead men have no right!” she declared.
