While speaking at the PDP Rivers State Secretariat on Saturday in Portharcourt on Saturday during the party’s congress, Wike threatening ‘brimstone and fire’ urged PDP governors to stay away from Rivers, insisting that the Rivers PDP has no issues.

He said, “Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give back to somebody.
“I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see you take.

“Because I heard they got some money from a signature bonus, and so their heads are getting big that you will put a hand in my own state. Prepare because I have the capacity to also do the same thing in your own state.

“Whether you are from Bauchi, I don’t give a damn, whichever state you are from, as far as I know, that you are trying to put yourself in Rivers State, your hand will get burnt, and you will never sleep in your state.”

Rivers State Governor Siminalaya Fubara and Nyesom Wike have been at war after the fallout between Wike and his predecessor.

Fubara was absent at the congress.
