I Won’t Apologise For Threatening States Of PDP Govs – Wike

Listen to article

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has clearly stated on Friday that he still stands by his threat to take action in states where governors intervene in the Rivers State crisis and is unapologetic about it.

The political control and structure of Rivers State has caused a divide between Wike and Governor Sim Fubara, leading to a parallel end.

Amid the lingering battle, the PDP governors forum had backed Fubara against the minister.

Angered by their remark and position, Wike had threatened to put fire in the state of any governor who interfered in the political crisis in Rivers State.

However, featuring on Channels TV Politics Today, Wike said: “I said it to the governors forum and I repeat without any apologies to anybody anywhere. Heaven will never fall, in fact; if heaven falls there will be peace.

“You mean as I sit as FCT Minister from Rivers State, the only person I can say I have no relationship with is the governor of Zamfara, I don’t know him; if I see him now I won’t know him.

“I know all other governors and they know me and we have a relationship. You mean you want to violate the processes and constitution of our party.

“After your meeting, you came out on national television as chairman of the forum to read a communique that their brother in Rivers state – whether legal or not – and I’m sitting as FCT Minister from that state listening, and you expect me to fold my arms because you are a governor?

“You look at me and tell me that? Expecting me to fold my hand for everything to be well?”

The two have been at subtle logger heads with each other since the resumption of Fubara’s tenure as the Governor of Fivers State.
