Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has described as empty the threat by some politicians to deal with him when they eventually win the 2023 presidential election.
He explained that his political crime, to such people, was his insistence on equity, fairness and justice to be practiced within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which they consider as too tough a demand to satisfy.
Wike spoke on Wednesday at Community Secondary School 1, Mogho Town, venue of the campaign flag-off rally by the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council in Gokana local government area of the State.
The governor described such threats as laughable, because those threatening him will never win at the polls, and will not have such opportunity at all to carry out their sinister scheme against him.
He said: “Most of you have watched on YouTube where they said they will deal with me when they win. You can’t win. You’ve not won, you are threatening to deal with some people. Will God allow you?”
Wike insisted that he is a strong proponent of the principle of equity, fairness and justice because it is about the best way to foster inclusivity in PDP.
The governor pointed to the evil of denying other equal stakeholders due rights that will give them a sense of belonging, wherein the unity of purpose matters within a political party.
He said: “All of them planning and saying they will deal with us, they’ve not been born. I dare them, let them try it.”
Wike told Gokana people to be proud of their nativity and being citizens of Rivers State. According to him, no person can ever.
