I will continue to defeat political harlots in Rivers, says Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said he will continue to defeat political harlots in Rivers State.

Wike spoke in Port Harcourt during a special Thanksgiving organised by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, to mark his birthday and his new position in the National Assembly.

Wike recalled that Chinda would have been his successor in 2023 because he was one of the best but he came under pressure.

According to Wike: “Pressure came on me at a time when we wanted someone who would succeed me. One of the very best I would have presented would have been Kingsley Chinda, not those Ikwerre people who were running around saying they wanted to be governor, that they could not serve a master and boy.

“But they are waiting on the road now to serve the boy. No real Ikwerre man says that and goes back. Chinda had told you not to bother yourself. In Ikwerre tradition, when you start beating the drum of wrestling, it is not at that time that the real wrestlers will come out.

“The real wrestlers will come in later, towards the end. Leave all these people who cannot stand ordinary hunger. Leave these political harlots; I will continue to defeat them. What you know, you know.”
