"If You Touch Rivers, Nigeria Will Finish" – Wike by olajay86(m): 10:33am On May 02, 2018

The Governor of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has warned the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to shelve any plan of going after him for any reason.

Wike said any attempt to touch him will “finish Nigeria.”

The governor further stated that the Federal Government must apologise to the State and seek God’s forgiveness, or it will have no peace.

The Governor spoke yesterday while addressing workers during the Workers’ Day celebration, at the General Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Elekahia, Port, Harcourt.

Wike noted that the country was hunted and bedevilled by killings, because the Federal Government politicised security crisis in Rivers because it is not an All Progressives Congress APC state.

He said, “Don’t just see me as governor of Rivers state; see me as a soldier of God. For those, who are planning against me in Abuja, I say, you will fail. The day you touch Rivers, you finish Nigeria.

“When they tried to compromise security, I told them if Rivers state has a problem and they don’t want to look into it, one day Nigeria will burn. And I told them until they (FG) come and seek forgiveness and tell God ‘we are sorry for what we did to Rivers state’, they will never see peace.

“I asked them to come to our aid and they said it is People’s Democratic Party (PDP) state”.

He added, “Anything you want me to do in the interest of the state, I will do. But, when you introduce politics, I will come out as a politician.

“One thing you must not do to a politician who does not see, hear or talk; don’t bring politics, when you are demanding something.

“Nobody will deny workers their legitimate rights. I will never be in support of that. But, you are doing something wrong by threatening me with strike; that is not democracy.

“The essence of labour is not only to demand rights, you should, also, demand free and fair election. How many times has Labour talked against what is happening in the state? How many times have you condemned the federal government for changing police commissioners from left to centre.

“How many times have you cautioned those insulting Independent National Electoral Commission officials? Labour is not only for increment in wages; it is not only about building secretariat for you, buy buses or generator. Labour is part of talking of survival of democracy in the country.

“During the previous administration, when former president Goodluck Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy from fuel, Labour went on strike. Today, they have removed subsidy Labour failed.

“We all witness what is happening in the country today. Look at the killings. If you talk about the increment of wages and you don’t have children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers, then, what is the increment of wages and people are dying everyday? Nobody says anything.

“Talk about how Nigeria will move forward and not only increment. It will come and nobody will stop it.”

Niger Delta Avengers did more than boasting but where are they today?

Sorry, no single individual is bigger or more powerful than the nation.

True talk. NLC shouldn't only be about increment in salaries but also demand for good governance and security of Nigerians.

Even though Buhari is a useless idiot it is pertinent that Wike knows that nothing and I mean nothing will happen if he is touched by anyone in Nigeria ...

I used to think some people are untouchable but recent events have shown otherwise.

In as much as one wouldn't support tyranny, oppression and victimization, Wike and his co-travellers should desist from threatening the nation or see themselves as being above the law. If he erred, he should be assured that he will be 'touched' and Nigeria wouldn't burn.

I swear down. This is true.

I wonder why some clowns in here want to turn this into a political and tribal stuff by mentioning Nnamdi Kanu, Dokubo, Tompolo, and Avengers into this.

That is sheer ignorance and gullibility!

This is Nigeria, a sovereign state. If one side feel cheated they reserve the right to state their anguish and fight when the government can no longer protect them.

One fool said that no one man is bigger than our country, I agree totally. But he's not fighting the country Now; he's fighting an injustice in the country which are within his rights.

Buhari is one man, and he's trying to show that he is bigger than Nigeria - will you put up a challenge to him?

All these fools wey no sabi jonse with small sense.

Oshe11 Abeg no vex for using a quote for you to address other people; I couldn't bear the gullibility.

Sorry, no single individual is bigger or more powerful than the nation.

Sorry for yourself bro. It is your kind that helped sell the past four years to a brainless deaf octogenerian, now Nigeria has gone backwards 30 years.

I don't understand how your brain processes information, but read again; the guy is not fighting the nation, but an injustice happening in the nation.

You're obviously a Buharideen, and there's no wrong in that, but what are you insinuating?

Has Buhari not done enough damage locally and internationally?

Has he not tried to become bigger than this "pretentious one nation" called Nigeria? What do you have to say about that?

Don't get me wrong, you have your rights to air your opinion, but you have no right to judge a man fighting for a cause. All the people you mentioned were at the forefront of a fight against one form of injustice of the other.

Is it not hypocritical for you to try to judge them for their actions when in fact, you're also fighting to defend your love for Buhari and his administration?

Abeg, make we youths get sense and look beyond our sentiments... Our parents' generation made the mistake of depending on their sentiments to move them forward, but we're paying the bitter price Now.

We can't pass that mistake down to our children and grandchildren.

Udo!

Did Tompolo not bomb Nigeria into recession? Was that an empty threat? Was the NDA militants ever arrested?
