Nigeria:
The political crisis in Rivers State got messier on Thursday when the political leader of the new front of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, dared the state governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to reveal the secrets of his adversaries as he has vowed.
Governor Amaechi had spoken during a visit on him by the Archbishop of the Niger Delta Diocese of the Anglican church saying he would uncover the secrets of those behind the political crisis at the right time.
Wike, who spoke on Thursday during the inauguration of committees by the new executive council of the PDP in the state, led by Felix Obuah, also advised the executive of the party to allow the new committees do their duties without interference.
Speaking on Governor Amaechi’s earlier statement, Wike reminded him that he was Chief of Staff of the Government House prior to his appointment as minister, saying he had access to documents of transactions of government.
“I heard some people are saying that they will talk and expose people fighting them, it is too late to expose people fighting them now. It is meaningless now.
I worked as a Chief Of Staff at Government House and the documents are there for them to see. Let them carry the documents and go through them and do what they like with them.
“The day they speak, I will speak too. It is not only one man that can speak. When you speak, others will also speak,” Wike threatened.
On the conduct expected of the chairman of the party in the state, Wike told Obuah not to exclude anybody from the good fortunes of the party, noting that the party is big enough to accommodate all.
He also corrected the impression that he is the leader of the party in the state, stating that the party’s constitution places the state governor at the head of the party in the state, as such, the leader of the party in Rivers is Amaechi.
