He said, “I’m calling on the Inspector General of Police, IGP, to call his men in Edo State to order, because, if anything happens to Governor Wike, Rivers people will react accordingly.”

“The governor is on an official assignment in Edo, being the Chairman of PDP campaign council, just as Kano governor for APC. I wonder why the presence of Governor Wike is making them jittery already.”
