I’m not perturbed over Rivers crisis – Wike tells detractors

By Stanley Onyekwere

FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike has reiterated that he would not be perturbed as he got the capacity to fight back against those propelling social media propaganda and lies against him.
Wike asserted this stance yesterday in Abuja, when he received a delegation of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, led by Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, and accompanied by the Governors of Adamawa, Taraba and Plateau States, Ahmadu Fintiri, Agbu Kefas, and Caleb Muftwang respectively.
He stated that his conscience was clear in the discharge of his duties as FCT Minister, adding that the President’s vision was to appoint someone who would get the job done.
In his words: “Forget about the Obidients and the Atikus who have lost, and who felt that I did not support them. And those whom I revoked their C of Os.
“ Oh Wike did this, Wike did that because I didn’t support Obi, I didn’t support their own Presidential Candidate, and all of you just teamed up ‘Wike, Wike, Wike’.
“All those things, I am not perturbed, I will do what is right. My conscience is clear. I am not the person you think that you will now go to social media and say all kinds of things. You must be careful, I have the capacity to fight back.”
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Bala Mohammed, expressed happiness that the crisis in Rivers State had been resolved.
He added that the swiftness of the resolution, showed the importance of the State as an economic enclave.
He also appreciated President Bola Tinubu for appointing Wike as FCT Minister, adding that the antecedents of the former Rivers State governor made him deserving of the appointment.
