Wike To APC National Secretary: Don’t Get Your Fingers Burnt…Stay Away From Rivers Politics

Barely 24 hours after taking to Facebook to condemn the comments made by APC National Vice Chairman (South South), Hon Victor Giadom and submitting that his actions are only unacceptable but also unbecoming, the party’s National Secretary, Barrister Ajibola Basiru has been warned to stay away from Rivers State politics to avoid suffering negative consequences.

‘I find it unfortunate that a member of the NWC, who is the Vice Chairman of the South-South zone of the APC, was referring to a governor in our party as a ‘so-called governor of Rivers State’. No matter what his allegiances are to anybody, it is unbecoming of somebody holding such a sensitive position, and it should not be encouraged by anybody.

Even if the governor is not in our party, you can’t refer to an elected governor as a ‘so-called governor’ in order to please anybody. The office of the governor is an exalted position, and whoever is occupying it must be respected, irrespective of whatever political differences you have or whatever animosity exists between them’ Ajibola Basiru, a former senator, had submitted in the Facebook post in question.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, who gave the warning during his thank-you visit to Oyigbo Local Government, Rivers State, also alleged that APC bigwigs are supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara to get their share from the N600 billion left in the coffers of the state government.

He warned Barrister Ajibola Basiru to avoid getting his fingers burnt like others before him.

‘Let me warn those who come to Rivers State, because you have heard that we have N600 billion, you come here, you collect, and you open your mouth to talk anyhow.

I say it here, take this message to your National Secretary, leave Rivers State alone. Go and ask those who have done it before. Please don’t take our support for Mr President for granted. You have to be careful with the statements you make.

Today, you are enjoying in Osun, you don’t know those who did the work. You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State. Anything you see, take it.

Go and ask other people what has happened to them before. If your hand burns, no be me burn am o. This state is a no-go area. Take the one you have taken, stop making unnecessary comments’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
