Nyesom Wike the former Rivers State governor, has told Atiku Abubakar that the former Vice President has been rejected by Nigerians.

Mocking Atiku, while addressing his followers in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Wike said: “I heard Atiku say Nigerians have rejected us. Did we pick form [to contest Rivers’ LG election]? No.

“I hear Atiku Abubakar said that Nigerians have rejected us in Rivers State. You, who have contested and failed woefully, Nigerians have rejected you; therefore, go back home.”

The Eastern Updates reports that the All Peoples Party, APP, won 22 of the 23 local government council seats in the state when the election was conducted some weeks back.

In other news, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has finally lent his voice to the speculations that he orchestrated the ongoing conflict in the State while reiterating that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the architect of the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.

Wike made the accusations on Tuesday while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.

The minister said the governor was wrong to go ahead with the local government election.

He said: “No person who believes in peace and stability of any nation will say he supports violence, will say he wants to support destruction, will say he doesn’t want people to live in harmony.

“But what’s important is that when there’s violence, when there’s instability, it’s for you to ask questions: what has led to the violence, what has led to the instability, what has led to destruction?

“I was a governor and I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor say the state is turning into anarchy. You must respect the rule of law, the judgement of the court. It doesn’t matter how you see that judgement. The moment you don’t obey judgement, you’re inviting anarchy and violence.
