?In a recent statement, Nyesom Wike, the Minister
of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has again warned politicians from interfering in Rivers
State politics, as reported by VANGUARD.
Speaking at a civic reception in Port Harcourt
organized by the Rivers Ijaw People’s Congress, Wike stated that Rivers State
is important to him, and any external interference would lead to consequences.
Wike expressed frustration with certain
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governors, saying they are now upset about the
outcome of the Edo State governorship election.
He mocked them, claiming that they were more focused
on holding meetings in Enugu
and Taraba states instead of managing their own elections.
He criticized these governors for their lack
of focus and for interfering in other states’ affairs.
The minister also revealed that there had been
an attempt to disrupt the civic reception.
Wike accused these people of promoting
violence in Rivers State and warned that no one has a monopoly on violence.
Wike further criticized the opposition for
taking credit for projects he initiated.
He specifically mentioned the ring road project,
which he claimed was started during his time as governor of Rivers State, and he was continuing similar
development efforts in Abuja.
“I told them if you put your hand in Rivers State matter, fire will burn you. Today, they are crying everywhere. Instead of concentrating on how to win elections in their states, they were busy having meetings in Enugu and Taraba states. Who is losing now?” he said.
