BY KIO AMACHREE
I am fed up with the insults, the noise, and the deliberate provocation coming from supporters of Nyesom Wike.
Let me be clear from the outset.
You do not intimidate me.
You do not lecture me.
And you do not rewrite history in my presence.
Before you defend the man who has brought Rivers State to its knees, let me remind you how the state you live in was created — and who helped build it.
I Was There When Rivers State Was Born
I was there.
I watched Rivers State come into existence.
I watched it take shape from nothing.
I watched institutions being built from scratch.
The first Governor of Rivers State, Alfred Diete-Spiff, operated out of my father’s law chambers in Western House, Lagos. That is not folklore. That is fact.
My father, Chief Godfrey Kio Jaja Amachree, QC, was not a bystander.
He was not a cheerleader.
He was not a social-media warrior.
He was doing the work.
What My Father Did — Since Some of You Have Amnesia
My father was part of the generation that made Rivers State possible.
- He helped finance the political struggle that led to the creation of Rivers State in 1967.
- Through the bank he founded Pan African Bank, he provided early capital and liquidity when the state had no financial backbone.
- He financed contractors, traders, and institutions before oil money, before Abuja allocations, before patronage politics.
- He provided legal structure, physical space, and credibility at the moment Rivers State was finding its feet.
This was done without intimidation.
Without thugs.
Without propaganda.
That is how serious states are built.
Do Not Confuse Aggression With Leadership
You seem to believe that shouting, threatening critics, and bullying institutions is strength.
It is not.
What you are defending today is corruption dressed up as toughness, chaos sold as authority, and fear marketed as leadership.
I consider Nyesom Wike a national embarrassment — not because I dislike him, but because his legacy is division, institutional decay, and political thuggery.
Supporting that does not make you loyal.
It makes you complicit.
Do Not Question My Right to Speak
Some of you say:
“He lives abroad.”
“He has homes outside Nigeria.”
“He should keep quiet.”
No.
I can speak.
I will speak.
And I have more right than most of you.
I watched Rivers State being created.
I watched it grow.
And I am watching it being degraded.
Distance does not erase history.
And silence is not patriotism.
A Message to Those Who Are Fed Up
Now, to those of you who are truly fed up — fed up with corruption, racism, stupidity, depression, and violence in Nigeria — this is for you.
Enough of the rubbish.
Enough of third-rate agitators and political gangsters.
Enough of fear pretending to be loyalty.
Nigeria does not need more noise.
Nigeria needs solutions.
That is why I am asking you to join The Kio Solution — a movement grounded in competence, accountability, national dignity, and results.
This is not about ethnicity.
This is not about religion.
This is not about slogans.
It is about making Nigeria work, making it respected, and making it livable again.
Choose Your Battles Carefully
You are taking on the wrong man.
I am not intimidated.
I am not uninformed.
And I am not backing down.
The gauntlet has been thrown down.
If you believe in corruption, stay where you are.
If you believe Nigeria can be better — pick it up.
I dare you.
