Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, has charged the state electorate to forbear from voting candidates allegedly threatening to kill him on assumption of office.
Wike elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has left the party mainstream to form G-5, a group of aggrieved governors opposed to the refusal of the main opposition’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to vacate office for someone of Southern extraction following a co-northerner, Abubakar Atiku’s emergence as the party presidential candidate.
The standoff drove a wedge among the PDP chieftains, with the Rivers Governor always raising his voice against the former Vice-president’s aspiration and openly anti it.
The inflammable governor, while speaking at Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic’s Field, venue of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area campaign rally organised by the Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council, urged the gathering not to vote those threatening to cause him harm on getting to power.
“We will not support those who say when they come to power, they will kill me. We will not support those who say when they come to power, they will jail me. Will you allow them to kill me? Will you vote for those who do not want us to exist? Are you sure?” he remarked.
