In a recent statement, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has criticized the actions of some governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as reported by Daily Trust.
These governors, during a caucus meeting in Taraba last week, expressed their support for Siminalayi Fubara, the current Governor of Rivers State.
Wike claimed that these governors were plotting to take control of the PDP from his faction.
Wike warned these governors that their actions could have serious consequences. He stated that he would “put fire” in their states if they continued their efforts to undermine his influence within the party.
Wike stated that those who sought to take away the party’s structure from him would face difficulties, saying they would “never see peace again.”
He specifically mentioned governors in Bauchi and other regions, indicating that their actions would lead to trouble.
Wike also highlighted that the unrest within the party could lead to its downfall.
He blamed these governors for potentially destroying the PDP and warned them not to accuse him of being responsible for the party’s decline.
According to Wike, the PDP should allow Rivers State to manage its affairs without interference.
“When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace. Whether you are in Bauchi or wherever, your hands will get burnt. You will never see peace again.“
“So I’ve told them, now you have started, when I will start, don’t say I’m the one that destroyed PDP, you are the one that is trying to destroy PDP. Allow Rivers State to conduct the affairs of the party, we are aware of these unstable characters, we know that they are joining APP, let them wait during the time, they should face us in the election, don’t bother about our abuses, we have thick skin, we don’t even know what abuse is, so don’t say anybody is abusing me, of I’m nothing, they will not abuse me,” he said….Vïêw–Môrê
