Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has threatened to take a legal action to show objection to the dissolution of the Ekiti State executive committee of the People’s Democratic Party by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) calling this an act of tyranny.
The governor, who has dared the PDP National Chairman, former senator Iyorchia Ayu to suspend him or any of the G-5 governors, said the resort to what he called ‘despotism’ by the NWC will not do the PDP any good in the forthcoming general election.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned Wike said this while giving his speech during the PDP campaign kickoff in Bori, Khana Local Government, on Saturday.
He explained that the reason why a legal action will be taken is because there are still members of the PDP in Ekiti state who believe in the rule of law and that the party should respect its constitution.
‘Let me also use this opportunity to say to Iyorchia Ayu and his team, your dissolving Ekiti State Exco will not help you in anyway. Suspending people will not help you in anyway. The battle line has been fully drawn. We will do everything legally possible to challenge any decision that we know is illegal.
So, don’t think you can threaten people by saying so, so persons have been suspended. Rubbish! Complete rubbish. We are above that level that you think you can threaten anybody, intimidate anybody with whatever illegal decision you have taken’ he said.
The governor dared Ayu to extend what he described as ‘despotic tendencies’ to the G-5 governors and see if they can cope with the aftereffects.
‘So, we are waiting for you to announce my own or any of my friends. Like I have said, when a man says you will not sleep, he too, will he sleep? Will Ayu sleep? Will his cohorts sleep? So, don’t worry, we have the capacity to pay back. We have the capacity to tell you that enough is enough’ he said.
Wike urged Khana people to vote for the state PDP governorship candidate, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, as well as all national and state assemblies candidates in the 2023 general election in order to consolidate on the achievements of his administration- Team@orientactualmags.com
