Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has said he has no regrets for threatening Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors that he would cause fire in their states.

Wike, who spoke in a political interactive section on Channels Television yesterday, said what he meant was not physical fire but the same crisis that the governors intend to cause in Rivers State.

The former governor of Rivers State, while responding to the call from an elder statesman, Edwin Clark, on the police to arrest him for threatening the PDP governors, said Clark had no political right to call for his arrest since he is not a member of the PDP.

“I have always tried not to respond to Papa Edwin Clark, I am human, Edwin Clark is not fair. He was governor of River State and he is not from Rivers State, he is from Delta State.“

For crying out loud, is he from my state, now what is he saying? I am talking about PDP, is he a member of PDP? Let me see his membership card and when he contributed to PDP. Let me see how much he has given to the PDP to fight for the party to win in Rivers.

“I said what I said to the governors’ forum and I repeat without any apology to anybody who is anywhere. For crying out loud, heaven will never fall. When heaven falls, there will be peace.

He also said he would not support governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara again.

He said, “I will never support Fubara again in my political life. I won’t do that. Everyone knows me.”

Wike said he laboured and sacrificed for Fubara to become Rivers governor in 2023.

He added that the governor could not have won the election in the state without his support.

The FCT minister accused Fubara of telling lies against him after he was elected as governor.

“I will never support Fubara again in my political life. I won’t do that. Everyone knows me,” Wike said.

“That is why people should know me. I’m not a man who does things with my left hand. Everybody knows that.

“People laboured to put up a structure. You won’t have even taken the fifth position. People laboured and sacrificed. I sacrificed to talk to the Ogoni people.

“I sacrificed to talk to several people. Let us go this way (support Fubara). You turned it into that I’m asking for N20 billion, and N100 billion. You told lies against me. I brought you up, put you here and there.”

Over the past few months, Rivers has been engulfed in a political crisis due to the rift between Fubara and Wike.Due to the rift, the state house assembly is polarised into two factions.

The faction led by Martin Amaewhule with 27 members is loyal to Wike, while Victor Jumbo’s faction is loyal to Fubara.The two factions are in court to determine the authentic house of assembly.

Fubara recognises the Jumbo-led faction, and the state government interacts with the group, which has three lawmakers, for legislative approvals.
