The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday vowed to cause political crisis in the state of any governor who tries to interfere in the affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State.

Wike said this at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt during the party’s state congress.

“Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of 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, I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states.

“When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see you take,” Wike said.

The minister, who singled out Bauchi governor, Bala Mohammed, promised sleepless nights to governors who leave their states to challenge him in Rivers State.

“Because I heard they got some money from signature bonus and so their heads are getting big that you will put hand in my own state. Prepare because I have the capacity to also do the same thing in your own state.

“Whether you are from Bauchi I don’t 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,” he said.

Wike’s verbal onslaught comes days after the PDP governors met in Taraba State and weighed in on the crisis rocking the party in Rivers State in which the minister and the state governor are principal players.

The PDP governors’ forum had in a communique read by its Chairman, Governor Bala Mohammed, on August 23, reiterated their support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

They called for a review of the party congress outcome to restore Fubara’s leadership role in the state.

“The Forum notes the political impasse in Rivers State where court judgements are employed to determine the outcome of the party congresses.

“The PDP Governors’ Forum restates its stand with the Governor of Rivers State, and will engage the NWC of our great party to revisit the congress with a view to correcting the anomaly and allowing His Excellency Governor Siminalayi Fubara to take his rightful leadership position of the party in the state,” the communique read in part.

The PDP in Rivers State has been in crisis following the fallout between Wike and his predecessor Fubara.

Governor Fubara was absent in the Saturday’s congress conducted at the party’s secretariat in Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
