The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, said he will continue the fight between him and his predecessor, Siminalayi Fubara in the ongoing crisis in River State.
He said he would never back down even if heaven would come down, let it come down.
Wike made this known when the governors who were elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, and the party’s National Working Committee visited him over the crisis in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to the FCT minister, nobody can intimidate him as he would not accept any attempt to tamper with the political structure in Rivers State.
Wike said, “You know I will not agree. If heaven will come down, let heaven come down so that everybody will be at rest.
“Anybody who knows me knows too well: what I’ll never take is a threat. You know I will not agree. If heaven will come down, let heaven come down so that everybody will be at rest.
“Let’s do things right. He said they should bring N20 billion every month; that’s politics. But nobody said this when I was fighting. If you like, accuse me.”
However, this is coming despite reports that President Bola Tinubu has resolved the situation.
It was gathered on Monday, October 30, 2023, that Fabura who fell out with Wike, his predecessor, is being impeached by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, who is an associate of Wike, and some other members of the House, had commenced impeachment proceedings against the governor.
Wike’s allies had suspended the Majority Leader of the House, Ehie Edison, who is believed to be Fubara’s loyalist.
The deliberate impeachment has brought about disorder in the state as party followers have gone on to stage protests in Port Harcourt, the capital city.
