Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has threatened to expose some persons who had surreptitiously stopped the release of the loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria to Abia and Benue States.

He stated that the motive was to punish Governor Samuel Ortom and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for standing with him to demand the resignation of the National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu.

Wike spoke at the 58th birthday celebration of Ikpeazu in his country home of Umuobiakwa community in Obingwa Local Government Area on Tuesday.

This was contained in a statement issued by Media aide to Wike, Kelvin Ebiri, and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Wike said, “I will tell you very soon, how money that was supposed to come to Abia State for my friend to use to develop Abia State was stopped recently by those who think they own this country, by those who think Ikpeazu did not support them.

“Because Ikpeazu supported me, they went and stopped Abia state from getting the money they are supposed to get to develop Ariara market.

“Okezie Ikpeazu is just governor of Abia State. He is not the owner of Abia State He is just a symbol of Abia State. Anybody who fights Abia State, you’re not fighting Okezie, you are fighting the people of Abia.”

Wike, who was the special guest of honour at the event, was accompanied by former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.

Wike explained that the CBN loan was a facility that is made available to every state of the federation, pointing out that Rivers State Government had accessed and secured the loan already.

“I will tell all of you, how Abia and Benue States were denied of their money that every state had gotten from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“I got it (CBN loan). And anybody who dare to stop my money, they know, I will not take it from them. You can see how people are wicked, they are not in office yet, but they are fighting people, stopping states money.

“Even as we have criticized President Muhammadu Buhari, he has never stopped our money any day, never.”

He added, “Let me tell all of you here, let me use the opportunity and Nigerians will hear. I never told him I will say this.

“Why would some people think some of us are not Nigerians, some people think some of us are slaves. We would never be slaves. I will never be a slave to anybody.”

Wike, who restated his position on the internal crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party, said his allies demand was for inclusivity, wherein every region is given a sense of belonging.

“So, I have told Ikpeazu to continue to be quiet and be a professor of proverbs. When we went to London, he told the person who called us to the meeting in London, you see this thing happening to PDP now is like that ship that wanted to capsize carrying Jonah.

“So, as the ship was going down, they went to Jonah, who said it’s me, it’s not the ship, and they took Jonah out of the ship. Jonah did not die.

“The ship stabilized. So, why not throw this Jonah out so that the ship can stabilize.”

Is it a bad thing if someone expresses his pain without causing physical harm it means he's making enemies? Bro! That's how every honest person should act. If you don't do well, I'll do exerctly what Wike is doing cos its painful if you don't reciprocate the love, loyalty and trust I show to you.. period

No political party will like to be associated with Wke after 2023.

Abeg how can opposition members stops CBN loan to a States

Wike is in pain

Wike is filled with pains. What concern PDP and APC CBN?
Ikpeazu that has woefully failed his people?
I pity him and Ortom when de mumu follow Wike.

Wike should just join Peter Obi in Labor Party let them team up and build it to the strength of PDP and APC or beyond

let us not forget that Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, peter obi running mate is not Nigerian, his parents are from arab, his father, Baba Ahmed, was an Arab cattle-trader from modern-day Mauritania. funny enough, the obituary that change buhari name to jubril are quiet.

you can go and verify.

This obviously means that you don't know how Nigeria works.
Was Atiku not part of the APC stalwarts that foisted Buhari on all of us 8 years?
Is he not still in good terms with the presidency?
Few weeks ago it was said that many elements within the presidency are actually working for Atiku. If that is the case, why do you think that it's above Atiku to pull this kind of strings?

Is now official that wike is running mad!!

With people like you with this kind of mentality, it is obvious Nigeria will never get get better, cowards who hide under the guise of wisdom but are noting but cowards who will abandon TRUTH when the going gets though

Don't compare Atiku with wike ?

Atiku does not play bitter politics like wike. Atiku has been loosing presidential election and he still move on after loss.

Wike just lost the primary election and he has been running mad since then.

Wike has no ally. By May29, his political carrer will be over. Let him enjoy the media fame till it last on may 2023.

Ok

I wish you have a little brain to understand that Atiku don't have any authority to stop ikpeazu accessing a loan.
Politics should not turn you to a foolish man pls.

Wike was one of the people that pursue Peter Obi from PDP.

How much is kai kai for your side
I'm not implying anything just curious

We held our SouthEast and South-South governors responsible. Yes.
But beneath that, we also know how the FG in corroboration with Federal ministries and ministers instead working against the zone.

An important road will not be constructed simply because the state government is not a cabal member or doesn't bear an Arabic name.
We know all these things.

Not quite...
PO simply did not want to play the money game. (in keeping with his personality)
He saw the writing on the wall. The primary will not be free n fair

Wike was not in support of him leaving

I even remember hearing murmurs back in 2019 that Obi is not bringing out money. It was Atiku funding everything.

Nobody chased Peter Obi out of PDP Oga
He left willingly so he’d be able to get a ticket to give you a great country to live in

Kai Kai is just 50 naira but don't forget to go and verify that Peter obi running mate is an Arab man

stop lieing to yourself. Do you know how much Peter Obi paid to secure the ticket of labour party? The problem I have with Peter obi and his supporters is they lie at any given time. I hate liars.

Carry go. You will still come and cry foul again when you need these people you deliberately make to be your enemy.

By 2027 when Wike will want to contest for presidency, he will regret some of these comments.

How can he undo all these statements?

At a point, he even said Obi lacks character to be president.

I don't know the person he's referring to but I think it's Atiku. And honestly, I don't think Atiku has the power to stop CBN from give an entire state a loan

You people are so emotional. It never takes much to betray your true motive

So YOU that's not *lying, why didn't YOU complete your own sentence??

You're supposed to tell me exactly how much Obi paid N your source in case I want to go VERIFY

That's how you post factually. Opinion can never be facts .

Wike said out of his own mouth PO shouldn't have left. I saw it with my own two eyes. But I'm supposed to believe an anonymous poster on nairaland (of all places) that Wike actually helped to push him out.

Sorry that's not how it works .

You really have some nerve acting like you dropped indisputable "facts" smh
