Some aides and close associates of Chief (Barr) Nyesom Wike, the
Governor of Rivers State have expressed fears over what they referred to
as the “uncharitable threats” by the Governor. Governor Wike who is
said to be troubled by the spate of defections that is on going in his
party, the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State has issued a threat
while meeting with selected members of the PDP leadership.
Worried
about the defection he said:
“Everybody is running away to APC and
they expect me to stay calm and suffer the brunt alone. It will never
happen. We were in it together and we must suffer together. If they say I
stole money in the Ministry of Education, I didn’t eat it alone. All of
you took part. Some of you built the Almajari Schools, some built the
Unity Schools, some supplied books, others supervised projects. I have
my proofs. Today everybody is shouting Wike killed to get to power. Did I
as a person kill any Rivers man, No. They were killed in your LGAs by
your boys. Now all of you are planning to run to APC for protection. I
called you here today to inform you that I won’t accept that. I must
fight back. If I go down, everybody goes down”
“Chief Awuse is now
comfortable meeting with Andrew Uchendu. He does not remind us anymore
of how Andrew Uchendu fought against him. Rather he has all of a sudden
realized that Andrew Uchendu is Godfather to his son. See Ogiri. He is
now running around Emeka Beke and sending people to Dakuku. Everyone
wants to play safe, even madam. Nobody is talking; nobody wants to be on
our side any more. I will fight oh. You see the way Dasuki did his,
that is exact what l will do. I will name all of you one after another.”
One
of the sources from Emohua Local Government Area who was also at the
meeting said the “Governor has become very desperate and feels that
blackmail, intimidation and threats can keep people around him.
