Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers
state, says there might be consequences if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
moves its national convention out of Port Harcourt.
The national working committee
(NWC) of the party had fixed the convention slated for October 6 for Port Harcourt
but some of the presidential aspirants kicked against it.
While receiving Ibrahim
Dankwambo, governor of Gombe state and one of the presidential aspirants, on
Wednesday, Wike said Rivers people will teach PDP a bitter lesson if the party
changes the convention venue.
“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,” he said.
“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.
“Nobody should dare Rivers State
any longer. Enough is enough. PDP should know that we are not a punching bag.
We are not a people you can use and push. We are not harlots. Whenever you
want, you come. When you finish, you push us aside.
“We will retaliate at the
appropriate time. When you go, tell your colleagues, the Presidential
Aspirants. We were not interested, but having given it to us, you cannot insult
us.

He claimed there are some of the
aspirants who have been planted by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
to fight the PDP.
“You come here to deceive us
about restructuring. Just that Rivers State is a venue, you fight it. Then, when
you are there, what will happen? You think we are fools where you preach
restructuring, then when you get the position, you abandon restructuring,” he
said.
Wike said at the appropriate
time, he will reveal the names of the aspirants working with the APC to scuttle
the PDP primary.
