Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike has spoken of his resolve to protect the church in Nigeria.
Wike stated this on Sunday at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt, against the backdrop of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidates, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kassim Shetima.
The governor said those using the same faith-ticket to demarket APC, while promoting the candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP are being double standard.
His word, “You play on people’s intelligence; you say Nigeria is not ripe for Muslim-Muslim ticket, I agree. But Nigeria is ripe for presidency to remain in one zone? I mean, just look at the insult. You blow hot and cold.
“Most of you just sit there, you don’t ask yourselves questions. Somebody continues to sell this kind of cheap ideas. You don’t ask the person, I agree with what you are saying but look at what we are saying here.
“Your party wants the presidency to go to the same zone where president Muhammadu Buhari is coming from. Who is cheating who?
“It is not now that politics have come, you want to come and tell the church a different story for your own personal interest.
“We have to be careful so that the church is not destroyed. Because, all of us, for example, we are Anglicans, I will not allow anybody, for his selfish interest to destroy the church of Nigeria. I will not allow that.”
