As the turmoil inside the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, continues, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has attacked the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike warned people offering similar threats in Abuja to reconsider or face the consequences.
The governor made the comment while stating that the state could no longer be used as a landfill.
On Monday, the governor announced this during building work on the Elele Internal Roads in the Ikwerre Local Government Area.
The governor stated that Rivers State is extremely powerful in the scheme of national affairs and that any assistance offered by the state should be repaid.
He noted that despite the contribution of Rivers State to PDP, the state has nothing to show for it.
“Let me use this opportunity to tell you. People should understand. Rivers State is very strong as far as this country is concerned.
“I have told people. Rivers State is not a dumping ground and will never be a dumping ground. If we give you support, we believe you can reciprocate, so nobody should threaten us, no political party can threaten Rivers State, not one.
“So all those who are opening their mouth in Abuja to threaten Rivers State, think twice before you have a problem,” Wike said
