Wike dismisses disciplinary threats

Recently, he threatened to set “fire” in states of governors who interfere in the politics of Rivers state, especially those who back his mentee-turned-foe, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Speaking on Friday night, on Channels Television's 'Politics Today', monitored by Legit.ng, Wike explained that he cannot be booted out of the PDP.

He said:

“There is no governor in PDP today; not anybody born of a woman, can say I am an outsider. Who?”

Continuing, the FCT minister said:

“Some of us have name to maintain. Before I took this appointment, I wrote to PDP. I wrote to PDP national, I wrote to PDP zonal, and I wrote to PDP in my state. My governor (Fubara) also signed the letter, giving me the go ahead to take the appointment.”
