Governor of Rivers state, Nyeson Wike has threatened that the people of the state will teach Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) bitter lesson if the venue of the convention is shifted from Port Harcourt.
Wike who made this known when the Presidential Aspirant and Governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Dankwambo visited him Port Harcourt said that the state will not support any desperate PDP presidential aspirant who is sabotaging the economy of the state by fighting the hosting of the party’s presidential primary in Port Harcourt.
Said he, “Let me warn the party, if you dare, Rivers State will teach the party a lesson. Those days have passed when they took Rivers State for granted. Nobody can use and dump Rivers State.
“No presidential aspirant can use and dump Rivers State. We never lobbied for it, we never asked for it, but it will boost the economy of the state. People will make money.
“Those who are against Rivers people from making money to improve their businesses, will not get our support.”
The governor said that whether the National Convention holds in Jigawa or Adamawa, the winner preferred by the delegates will emerge.
“I don’t know why anyone who wants to be president, will be afraid of a venue. Then you are not prepared for the election.”
