The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has slammed some leaders of the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for declaring support for the current governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Wike made this statement during a media parley with journalists today in Abuja.
You will recall that PDP leaders in Rivers State, Abiye Sekibo; ex-PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; ex-governorship aspirant, Celestine Omehia; and ex-lawmaker, Austin Opara; had last week declared support for Fubara and called on the President to caution Wike.
However, reacting today, Wike said Sekibo, Secondus, Omehia and Opara are all expired politicians who are not worthy to be called “elder statesmen”.
The FCT minister said they were all irrelevant as he kicked them out of the party.
Wike insisted that Secondus was no longer a member of the PDP as his suspension was validated by the court.
In the same vein, the FCT Minister today said he was called a killer because Instead of the PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar, he forced people to support a candidate who will not live long.
