The governor added that God has given him the power to crush his enemies in the party. Wike insisted that he had the potential to deal with his critics. While calling them boys, he said he would not wait to “flog them with pepper”.
The PDP leader spoke in tongues to amuse the crowd while noting that efforts by some party leaders to break his rank would end in futility.
