Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, has suggested the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, can only set fire on states where the governors are not in total control.
He suggested that such a fire cannot burn in a state with a
strong governor who has nothing to hide.
Recall that Wike, while speaking at the PDP secretariat in
Port Harcourt, the state capital, during the party’s state congress, warned the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors to stay clear of the party’s affairs
in Rivers.
He threatened to set fire and cause a political crisis in
the state of any PDP governor pushing for the Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara
to take over the structures of the party in the state.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Fayose, a
friend and political ally of Wike, said, “As a sitting Governor, when I was
Governor of Ekiti State, I had nothing to hide.
”If a governor or former governor says he will put fire in
my state, it is either I am not strong at home or I have lost control in my
state, then I have a lot to fear. I speak my mind and I don’t hide it.
“You can tell my position. The moment you have a grip of
your state, you have nothing to fear. But the moment you don’t have a grip of
your state, obviously you have a lot in your hand to face.”
