Uche Secondus has rebuked Governor Nyesom Wike over his
warning against his support for Atiku Abubakar.
Wike lost the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential
ticket to the former vice president at the Abuja primary in May.
Sokoto Governor, Aminu Tambuwal’s last-minute deal with
Atiku knocked Wike, who supported him at the 2018 convention in Port Harcourt,
to the second position.
Since then, Wike has gone on the offensive attacking state and
national PDP leaders and officials.
The Rivers helmsman accuses his Sokoto counterpart Aminu
Tambuawal of betrayal for stepping down for Atiku.
On Saturday at Omagwa in Ikwerre local government area, the
governor threatened to crush anyone working with Secondus
Wike lamented that influential politicians who claimed to be
with him have shifted loyalty to his rivals.
“We will take every might we have, we will even leave our
enemy and finish you first.
“So all of you going to Abuja to hold meetings with our
enemies in the state, I’m going to finish you to the last”, he vowed.
In reply, a terse statement by the ex-chairman’s media
office reminded the governor that he would not be in power till eternity.
Secondus condemned Wike’s “disdainful threat..that he will
crush anybody who works with him in support of the PDP presidential candidate
Atiku Abubakar.”
“Wike you cannot crush anybody, I cannot fight or join
issues with you, only God can crush”, he stressed.
Quoting Nnamdi Azikiwe’s advisory, Secondus added: “No
condition is permanent and nobody can become Governor of a state or President
of this country forever.”
