The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has accused a PDP member who was present at a ceremony in Kano State on Monday to welcome Ibrahim Shekarau, the senator for Kano Central, and a member of the NNPP, of being a “rapist.”
This was stated by Wike on Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at the opening of the Ogbunabali Sandfilled Area in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He claimed that this “rapist” did not make an effort to convince others to support the PDP but was perfectly content to enjoy “when food is ready.”
“Anywhere any true Rivers man is, you must show that you are important, you must show that you have something to offer and not to do houseboy, we don’t belong to the houseboys; we are not known to be that.
“So, all of you, continue to show that you are not a second-class citizen in any state or any zone,” the governor added.
The governor of Rivers also asked Ahmed Makarfi, a former governor of Kaduna State, to concentrate on winning his state over to the PDP.
On Tuesday morning’s episode of Sunrise Daily on Channels Television, Makarfi advised Wike not to make any decisions out of rage.
The former PDP national chairman was challenged by Wike to “Operation Deliver Your Polling Unit” and “Operation Deliver Your Local Government” in return.
Wike said, “This morning I was watching television when I saw a former acting chairman of the party, Ahmed Makarfi, and he said he is very close to me but I don’t know how close he is to me. I don’t know when last we spoke. I’ve never spoken to him for the past five months. So, if you are close to somebody politically, there is no how you won’t have spoken to the person.
“What I want to advise Makarfi is: Look you have a job, make sure PDP wins Kaduna State. Leave Wike. Make sure PDP wins in Kaduna State, I don’t want to hear excuses.”
