Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has issued a warning to PDP governors who are supporting Sim Fubara, the current governor of Rivers State. He threatened to cause a political crisis in their states if they continue to interfere in Rivers State’s PDP affairs.
Wike made these comments during the PDP’s state congress in Port Harcourt, where he rejected any external interference in the state’s affairs. He specifically called out the governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, among others. Wike’s threats come after PDP governors met in Taraba State to discuss the situation in Rivers and expressed their support for Fubara.
Wike continued to express his discontent with the PDP governors who are supporting Fubara, saying, “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”.
He also hinted that financial gains might be influencing some governors’ actions, saying, “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”. Wike’s threats are directly aimed at these governors, particularly calling out the governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, among others.
