A Port Harcourt based Comedian and Content Producer, Newman Chinda, popularly known as Newmanny, has called out Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike in an “Open Online Naked Protest”
Newmanny in his protest letter said that “Entertainment which is the bedrock on which a society thrives, should be prioritized in our very own Garden city”
According to him: “From time past, we’ve seen how up and coming artistes run from Phcity and other states to Lagos which is said to be the “Centre of Entertainment”
“This didn’t just happen in a day.
Past administrations do well to keep Entertainment going and so they keep rising.
” Your Excellency Sir, Phcity is a Renowned City in Nigeria and as such, we should keep up with that Honor.
Your administration has killed entertainment in the state rather than rejuvenate it, hence the reason people find a way to go to Lagos at every given opportunity.
“There’s more to Government other than Patching of roads and renovating dilapidated buildings.”
He explained that the past Governor Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi did well in the Entertainment industry in Phcity.
According to him, their Crafts flourished.
He stated that Carniriv which was observed yearly attracted investors who picked interest in investing in our Dear Rivers State.
He noted that Carniriv Fostered unity and togetherness amongst the people of Rivers amidst other benefits to our Society at large, stressing that the young ones felt a sense of belonging as well as the aged.
He said: “Your administration has to a large extent killed the Entertaining spirit in our people.
“The like of Mr 2kay, Dan D Humorous, Arinze Baba, Burna Boy, Duncan etc attained fame during Amaechi’s Administration Because of his versatility and deliberate empowerment of these Artistes (Up and Coming)
“When Davido visited you, the pictures revealed how happy and excited you were hosting a Celebrity, another State Government made that possible by creating an enabling environment for him to grow his Craft and become the Super Star you were happy and quick to host”
