Wike said Amaechi and his supporters should go to another party if they believed they were popular, promising that he (Wike) and his followers would celebrate the exit of the governor from the PDP.
The minister, who made this remark during a rally organised by the Grassroots Development Initiative in Port Harcourt, said they would resist any attempt to rig the 2015 election.
He explained that Rivers State Government had collapsed, adding that a revolution was taken place in the state.
Wike said, “If you think you are so popular, why not join another party. The day they join another party, we will do thanksgiving. We will have to celebrate their exit and we will tell them that nobody can rig elections in Rivers State any longer.
“The day you dare it is the day you see the consequences. We are going to resist any attempt to say that our votes will not count. Everybody is jittery. Why are they jittery? We are not worried, they are worried.”
The minister said that the support for President Goodluck Jonathan in the Niger Delta was not based on any condition, but because he (Jonathan) had done well.
Earlier, the State Chairman of the PDP, Obuah, said they (PDP) were witnessing a wind of change in Rivers, adding that six commissioners in Amaechi’s government had agreed to leave the governor’s administration.
Reacting, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief Tony Okocha, said Wike should bother about the capital flight and the attendant brain-drain and not to visit the state every weekend to oil his campaign outfit.
“Rivers people are wiser. Wike’s ranting every weekend in Rivers State leaves much to be imagined especially as the country is relapsing to the Dark Age.
“As supervising minister for education, it should be have been reasonable for him to bother about the fact that students roam the streets and take to heinous crimes because of a protracted strike by lecturers.
“Rivers people are not opposed to Mr. President. Wike should stop his attempt to commonise the office of Mr. President in his attempt to curry under served favour.
“What may be in the issue is purely ideology, which is common with great minds. Wike should be thought that ideas rule the world. Petty mind discuss people,” Okocha said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteLet him face the problem facing ASUU and ASUP first.
ReplyDeleteWike,or what stupid name you call yourself,is pdp formed by your father?.
ReplyDeleteIs this nyesom wike normal or he has gone mad. Does he know the office or position he is? As supervising minister of education ASUU has been on strke for 4months now, I hv never seen him or heard him make any intelligent or meaning suggestion(s) on the way out of ASUU strike but all is concern abt is Gov Amechi. This mad is a total disgrace to GEJ adminstration, but I still keep woundering while a Prof will b send parking and an illiterate will be allowed to b in charge of education. Now will know why education sector in this country can never see the light of day, instead of wike looking for ways to resolve ASUU crisis he is fighting Amechi and claiming PDP as is father's property. I don't blame him, GEJ is the root of this evil
ReplyDeleteThis wike guy na for am oooo. The fear of Gov. Amaechi don make the guy no fit spend 2days for abuja. He should face his job and try to end ASUU instead fighting the gov. The guy na real Agbero. How Jona make dis kind person minister self. Olodo.
ReplyDeleteOkocha you got it wrong here. Amaechi and not Wike commonise the office of the president, his action has emboldened others to pour invectives on our president, the first from the south south since the creation of this entity called NIGERIA!. It is the rat at home that invites others to cone and feast in the house!. Anaechi's opposition is not based on ideoly but on personal survival. Please be reminded incase you pretend to forget. We know better!
