Governor, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has taken a swipe at his Ebonyi state counterpart, Dave Umahi for labelling him a dictator who singlehandedly imposed Uche Secondus as chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
Dave Umahi who recently decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the PDP had made the allegations in a recent interview on TV after announcing his defection.
Governor Wike in a swift reaction during a TV interview yesterday said Umahi was wrong to have called him a dictator and for making such unsubstantial claims.
“Umahi wants to run for President of Nigeria but he has no right to threaten anybody. Politics is dialogue and diplomacy. Who told Umahi that he is the only qualified South-East person to be president?” he asked.
Wike equally noted that another PDP Governor will soon decamp to the APC. He, however, refused to reveal the identity of the governor.
