- Wike said he would put fire in the governors’states, adding that peace would elude them if they undermine him and persist in their support for Fubara.
Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, has read the riot act to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Wike said he would plunge the respective States of the governors into turmoil and make their domains ungovernable for them if they thought they could take over the PDP structure in Rivers and hand over it to Fubara.
He issued the threat on Saturday during the Rivers State PDP Congress, held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Capital.
Wike said he would put fire in the governors’states, adding that peace would elude them if they undermine him and persist in their support for Fubara.
He said, “Not while we live will anybody take the PDP structure from us. I hear that some governors claim they will take the structure and give it to somebody. I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states.”
“We are party members, we have taken over our party members. We will not leave for anybody or allow anybody to take the party from us,” the FCT Minister added.
“Some governors say they will take the structure from us and give it to somebody. I hear that they have given them assurance that they will take the party from us. 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. Whether you are in Bauchi or wherever, your hands will get burnt. You will never see peace again,” Wike said
Wike’s relationship with Fubara, his successor, has deteriorated since the latter emerged as governor in 2023. The two have been at odds, with the Rivers State legislative arm split into factions.
Party members have attempted to intervene, but their efforts have been unsuccessful. Meanwhile, PDP governors have consistently backed Fubara, which appears to have infuriated Wike.
The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike has warned state governors assuring Governor Fubara of support that he will "put fire in their states"
