The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has said that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike should be confirmed to a mental health institution.
Onochie said this in a series of tweets via her verified Twitter handle on Monday in reaction to Wike’s allegations that the Federal Government was plotting to set him up.
Wike made the allegations in an appearance on Channels Television’s current-affairs programme, Sunrise Daily.
The governor said, “So many strategies have been mapped out. They have asked EFCC to monitor the accounts of the state. I don’t have a problem with it, if they respect the rule of law. If they obey court orders, before I came in there were judgements against EFCC in the state’s financial activities which they have appealed and they have not been set aside that judgement.”
But in her tweets, Onochie described Wike as “paranoid”.

It's sad that a man who should be receiving care, sympathy and attention in a health institution is sitting as a governor of Rivers state
Our laws must be changed to give citizens the rights to demand mental assessment of their leaders. Sadly, the people of Ekiti lived through it
