I’m demolishing APC structures in Rivers – Wike lambasts ex-Kaduna gov, Makarfi

River State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he’s on a mission to demolish the structures of the All Progressives Congress in his state.

Wike stated this while inaugurating the Ogbunabali Sandfilled Area in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He said he had been busy demolishing APC structures in the South-South state and should not be distracted.

Wike said, “Some of you, those you rate, you won’t even buy them for a naira. At the appropriate time, I will tell you who they are; the kind of characters we are talking about – people will speak here today, and tomorrow, they will say a different thing. I begin to wonder is it this leader that spoke to me last night? It is very unfortunate.

“Wike and his team are busy here bringing down all structures of APC, providing dividends of democracy. In your own state, you are only talking about Wike.

The presidential aspirant, who was defeated by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential primary in May, also said he does not belong to the houseboys’ category.

He said, “Anywhere any true Rivers man is, you must show that you are important, you must show that you have something to offer and not to do houseboy, we don’t belong to the houseboys; we are not known to be that.

“So, all of you, continue to show that you are not a second-class citizen in any state or any zone.”

Wike also urged a former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, to focus on delivering his state for the PDP.

Makarfi had on Tuesday morning on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme said Wike should not take any decision in anger.

But in a swift response, Wike challenged the former PDP national chairman to ‘Operation Deliver Your Polling Unit’ and ‘Operation Deliver Your Local Government’.

Wike said, “This morning I was watching television when I saw a former acting chairman of the party, Ahmed Makarfi, and he said he is very close to me but I don’t know how close he is to me. I don’t know when last we spoke. I’ve never spoken to him for the past five months. So, if you are close to somebody politically, there is no how you won’t have spoken to the person.

“What I want to advise Makarfi is: Look you have a job, make sure PDP wins Kaduna State. Leave Wike. Make sure PDP wins in Kaduna State, I don’t want to hear excuses.”
