Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday escalated the drama between him and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he or the State can’t be bought over.
Wike who was speaking in Port Harcourt said Rivers had been contributing to the PDP more than any other State, but got nothing in return.
“Enough is enough of using and dumping Rivers in PDP”
“Don’t rush. At the appropriate time, we will take decisions on what to do. Since 1999, we have brought the highest votes for the PDP.
” I challenge any state to say they brought more votes than Rivers. Since 1999 I challenge any state in terms of support for the PDP to say it had supported the party more than Rivers.
“Then since 1999 show me one federal project in this state. If you want our votes, tell me what you will give to Rivers. Nothing can be free again. Enough is enough of using Rivers and thinking that we are foolish people, we don’t know what to do with our money.
“I am not going to look for positions at the federal level. Have I not been a minister before? So what are you going to entice me now as a person? Nothing. It is for the interest of my state. If you don’t tell me what the state will gain, then forget me.”
