Wike attacks Secondus, others for supporting Fubara
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has slammed some leaders of the Rivers
State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for declaring support for
the current governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Wike made this statement during a chat with newsmen on
Tuesday in Abuja.
Recall that PDP leaders in Rivers State, Abiye
Sekibo; ex-PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; ex-governorship aspirant,
Celestine Omehia; and ex-lawmaker, Austin Opara; had last week declared support
for Fubara and called on the President to caution Wike.
However, reacting on Tuesday, Wike said Sekibo, Secondus,
Omehia and Opara are all expired politicians who are not worthy to be called
“elder statesmen”.
The FCT minister said they were all irrelevant as he kicked
them out of the party.
