The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed not to allow anyone to take over the Peoples Democratic Party structure in Rivers State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Rivers State Governor vowed to cause a political crisis in their states if any PDP governor tried interfering in the party\u2019s affairs in the South-South state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PUNCH Online reports that the PDP governors, who met in Taraba State on August 23, weighed in<\/a> on the crisis rocking the party in the state and reiterated their support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PDP Governors\u2019 Forum, in a communique read by its Chairman and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, called for a review of the party congress outcome to restore Fubara\u2019s leadership role in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Saturday during the party\u2019s state congress, Wike urged the PDP governors to stay clear of the party\u2019s affairs in Rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said, \u201cLet me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of the PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give back to somebody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don\u2019t want peace \u2013 anything you see you take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecause 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhether you are from Bauchi, I don\u2019t give a damn, whichever state you are from, as far as I know, that you are trying to put yourself in Rivers State, your hand will get burnt, and you will never sleep in your state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rivers PDP has been in crisis following the fallout between Wike and his predecessor, who was absent at the congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In attendance alongside the minister were some serving and past lawmakers at both federal and state levels, former council chairmen, and other party faithful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed not to allow anyone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,27],"tags":[36],"class_list":["post-1230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-politics","tag-emergency"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",650,339,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike-300x156.png",300,156,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",640,334,false],"large":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",640,334,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",650,339,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",650,339,false],"chromenews-featured":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",650,339,false],"chromenews-large":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike.png",650,339,false],"chromenews-medium":["https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Nyesom-Wike-590x339.png",590,339,true]},"author_info":{"info":["Ikoro News"]},"category_info":"Breaking News<\/a> Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1230"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1232,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1230\/revisions\/1232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikorofmnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
