PDP: Why Party Wants Me Dead — Governor Wike

PDP: Why Party Wants Me Dead — Governor Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has alleged that members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) want him dead because of the request he made to its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Per a Daily Post report, Wike made the allegation at the commissioning of the Akpabu-Itu-Umudiogha road in the Emohua Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday.

According to him, his party members want to kill him because of his request that Atiku should prevail on Iyorchia Ayu to resign as the party's National Chairman.

Wike said that his goal has never been to make Atiku relinquish his presidential ticket.

“When I see some people running around and talking rubbish, they forget history easily. Today, we are not saying the presidential candidate should relinquish his ticket. We are not being selfish.

“We are only saying since you are now the presidential candidate, let our people take chairmanship and they say they will kill me. Is it possible?

“When you see some rent seekers from here going around saying they will give me minister of finance, they will give me governor of Central Bank, you haven’t killed an animal and you are saying women, don’t eat it.

"Kill the animal first to know whether women will eat or not.

“I don’t want that kind of promise. Give my people this one we are talking now. Give us the chairman so that things can move freely. They come and tell you stories,” he said.
