Former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Uche Secondus has rebuked Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for threatening his supporters who may be supporting the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike had at the flagging off ceremony of the construction of internal roads Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday, threatened that he will “finish” anyone who pitched tent with “enemies of the state.”
According to Wike, “If anybody fights our system we will fight the person back. Let me tell you what you don’t understand in politics. The moment you claim to be working with us and tomorrow you shift to our enemy, we will take every might we have, we will even leave our enemy and finish you first.
“So all of you who are going back to Abuja to hold meetings with our enemies in the state, I’m going to finish you to the last.
“We removed a National Party Chairman who was not doing well. All of them were here, we all agreed, now they are going to Abuja to hold meetings with the man we removed, thinking that you will use that to fight us, we will crush them,” he threatened.
But Secondus, in a swift response, issued a terse statement by his media office on Saturday, reminding the governor that he would not be in power till eternity.
The former chairman condemned Wike’s “disdainful threat that he will crush anybody who works with him in support of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
“Wike you cannot crush anybody, I cannot fight or join issues with you, only God can crush,” he stressed.
Quoting Nnamdi Azikiwe’s advisory, Secondus added: “No condition is permanent and nobody can become Governor of a state or President of this country forever.”
Secondus, a strong ally of Abubakar, was ousted as chairman of the PDP in 2021, by a strong opposition led by Wike.
