According to the report from ESET TV, Former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has issued a strong warning about potential unrest if the impeachment of his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, is pursued. Wike, speaking candidly about the political climate in the state, questioned the nature of threats that have surfaced in the aftermath of Fubara’s legal and political challenges.
“Know ourselves,” Wike declared, expressing frustration with what he perceives as escalating tensions. “You make appointments of people in the NDDC and they threaten to blow up pipelines. You make appointments here and they threaten to blow up pipelines. What kind of country are we in?” he asked. The reference to pipeline sabotage is a stark reminder of the region’s longstanding issues with oil infrastructure attacks, a common form of protest or rebellion in parts of the Niger Delta.
Wike’s remarks also touched on the broader implications of such threats. “As a sitting president, you threaten me that if you follow what the court said, I will blow up everywhere. Let the whole place be blown up. Enough is enough,” he continued, emphasizing his resolve not to back down. His comments suggested that the political climate has reached a tipping point, with no room for further threats or intimidation.
