Wike’s Threats Spark Concern As PDP Governors Alert Security Agencies

This appeal was made in a statement issued by the Director General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Emmanuel Agbo, emphasizing that no one is above the law.

Wike, speaking in Port Harcourt on Saturday, had remarked, “I hear some governors saying they will take over the structure and give it back to someone. I pity those governors because I will set fire in their states.”

The PDP governors condemned Wike’s statements, describing them as reckless, irresponsible, and unacceptable. They argued that his threats to disrupt peaceful coexistence in PDP-controlled states undermine efforts to foster peace, collaboration, and mutual respect among party leaders and members.

The Forum expressed disappointment that such comments would come from someone who once held the office of governor.

“The Forum has always adhered to a ‘touch one, touch all’ philosophy, where we collectively support each other under any circumstances,” the statement read. “This is a tradition Wike himself greatly benefited from during his time as governor.”

The governors reiterated that their stance on PDP affairs in Rivers State, as agreed upon at their 2024 meetings in Enugu and Taraba states, remains unchanged and is not open to revision by any individual, regardless of their position.

They also affirmed their commitment to working with the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to ensure that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State receives all the privileges he is entitled to as a PDP-elected governor, both at the state and national levels.
