ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike, has slammed the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over alleged threats.
This is coming following the lingering crisis within the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike made the remark while noting that the state cannot continue to be a dumping ground, at the flag-off of construction work on the Elele Internal Roads in Ikwerre Local Government Area, on Monday.
Governor Wike said Rivers State stands very strong in the scheme of national affairs, which is why it is given that when the state gives anybody support, it should be reciprocated.
He also, stated that despite the contribution of Rivers State to PDP, the state has nothing to show for it.
“Let me use this opportunity to tell you. People should understand. Rivers State is very strong as far as this country is concerned.
“I have told people. Rivers State is not a dumping ground and will never be a dumping ground. If we give you support, we believe you can reciprocate, so nobody should threaten us, no political party can threaten Rivers State, not one.
“So all those who are opening their mouth in Abuja to threaten Rivers State, think twice before you have a problem,” Wike said
