Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he is not interested in running the affairs of Riverd State.
Wike who made the declaration on Thursday when he received the Rivers state Caucus of the 10th National Assembly, said he is contented with his position as Minister.
According to him, he is interested in the political structure of the state which they have built for years, adding that anybody who dares to bring it down, will face the crisis he wants in his life.
Part of his statement reads,
“You that we have given this opportunity to, don’t go and disappoint your state. Don’t go and disappoint your state. When you make u, we will call you that you are making a mistake, take it in good faith that we are calling your attention because we think that you are derailing. When we call you, don’t say we are expecting a kickback from you of 25%, or so and so per cent.
“I thought that all of us are one. We have built this political structure for a long. Since 2015 we have emerged victorious. As the opposition party from 2015, I saw hell. The Federal Government fought me left right and centre, but with your support, we survived. When you work as a team, you will discover that it is difficult for an outsider to defeat you at home
“I am not interested in the governance of Rivers State. I am not interested. I am here sitting as a governor, (with) all the functions I have. But I am interested in the political structure of Rivers State which we have built for years.
“If anybody dares to bring it down, the person will face the crisis he wants in his life. Perform or don’t perform, but don’t touch our political structure. Anybody who puts his hand in our structure, anything you see, take it”, he said.
The caucus, led by Senator Barinada Mpigi, representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency used the opportunity to declare support for the minister.
