Wike declares war against PDP governors backing Fubara, says ‘I’ll put fire in their states’

 

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to cause a political crisis in the state of any PDP governor who tries interfering in the party’s affairs in Rivers.

 

 

Wike’s threat comes after PDP governors met in Taraba State on August 23 and stressed their support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara who is at loggerheads with Wike, his predecessor.

 

 

Speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital on Saturday during the party’s state congress, Wike warned PDP governors not to interfere.

 

 

He said, “Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of the PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give back to somebody.

 

 

“I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see you take.

 

 

“Because I heard they got some money from a signature bonus, and so their heads are getting big that you will put a hand in my own state. Prepare because I have the capacity to also do the same thing in your own state.

 

 

 

 

“Whether you are from Bauchi, I don’t give a damn, whichever state you are from, as far as I know, that you are trying to put yourself in Rivers State, your hand will get burnt, and you will never sleep in your state.”
