PDP Crisis: 'Expel Me, Try And See How You Will Survive It' - Wike Dares
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has dared the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to expel him and face the consequences.
Wike threw down the gauntlet while he was flagging off a new road in Rivers State.
He said: “In 2003 when President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to run for a second tenure―a whole president wanted to run for a second tenure―he knelt down before his vice and said, ‘my vice, please, allow me to run.’
“You know one of the conditions he gave him? That Tony Anenih must be sacked as the Minister of Works and that Tony Anenih must not be in the presidential campaign council. Obasanjo obliged and sacked Tony Anenih as the Minister of Works and removed him from the presidential campaign council. This is a president, [and] his own vice giving him condition; a retired General knelt down and was given conditions.
“We (G5) are not even doing that; we are not saying sack this one; we are only saying that the constitution of our party must be respected based on what the national chairman said and based on what you told me in my house.”
The governor then dared the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to expel him from the party, saying “try and see how you will survive it.”
Politics they say is a very dirty game....it is not a game for the "chicken hearted".... especially Nigerian brand of politics which can be bloody and gruesome most of the time..... that's the ugly side of our Nigerian brand of politics.... In fact, Diehard politicians can go to any length in their quest to acquire power....in my quite observation, I think Wike is gradually but steadily crossing the red-line..... I'm baffled the so called G5 governors who I refer as "follow-follow" or (the Wike errand boys) are so blinded and unwitty, not seeing the Red flag AND the Bold Hand Writing on the Wall.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I keep worrying for them. ...My instinct keeps telling me The People on the other side of the divide ..... whether it be Atiku, Mainstream PDP, or opponents may descend heavily on them sooner or later. I hope it doesn't happen though!
