Ebonyi State government has described his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike as a dictator whose dictatorial tendencies is destroying the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Umahi was reacting to a statement credited to Wike who said he left the party to the APC because of his desperation to be president of the country.

Umahi spoke on the Arise TV interview program on Wednesday.

He said Wike’s dictatorial tendencies and overbearing influence on the running of the party affairs has made other governors to loath him.

He warned Wike to desist from attacking him as it would be very dangerous if both of them continue attacking each other.

He said: “I refused to join issues with Wike because he is my friend. But Wike must know that he is a dictator. Wike must know that one person cannot be called a crowd. Wike must know that a lot of governors in PDP are not very happy with him. He remote controls the party.”

“He (Wike) said that I made my brother the Vice-Chairman. I fund the PDP southeast from A to Z. And he has forgotten that he singlehandedly made Secondus the Chairman. He has forgotten that he wanted to impose one of his own as minority Leader of the House.

“There is nothing that happens in PDP without his authorization. He once said that PDP National Working Committee members are beggars and bribe-takers. I have asked him that let’s not take on ourselves or else it will be very dangerous.

“So let’s face the party; the party does not belong to him. And this is by no means personal and he is demonstrating the dictatorial tendencies in him by taking on me, a fellow governor. And that is very shameful.”

Umahi warned that unless there is a change in the mode of doing things in PDP from a situation where it is being remote-controlled, then more governors will leave the party.

“APC does more consultation. Anybody can investigate this – that PDP working committee is being remote controlled and that is the truth and it is very dangerous and all the governors know that.”

“You cannot stay in your state and you will be remotely controlling what happens in other states. Unless that changes you will see a lot of governors leaving the party,” he warned.

Umahi also said he is not desperate to be president of the country.

He said he will be a happy man if a President of Southeast extraction is elected in 2023 even if that person is not him.

..their slayer

Wike u can see clearly what your denigration of d Igbos has suddenly brought on you if not it's d Igbos that would have helped u crush Umahi for being an efulefu in-chief but here u are receiving it back to back and your core foot soldiers, the Igbos , are enjoying your humiliation and very imminent political demise

Wike is a tyrant...it's very visible to the blind and audible to the deaf...He wants to dictate everything going on in the country. that was how he wanted to singlehandedly make Tambuwal president all to no avail. Wike should know that Ofu onye anaghi aka Oha...He should expect more disregard from several persons.

Umahi defection pain am well well

This clown think he will be the president of Nigeria that's why he's babbling up and down lol.

The northners will never vote igbo man, as president of Nigeria, the only thing pdp need to do is to pick Atiku as their presidential Candidate and Wike for vp,boom game over apc lol.

Wike is a bastard everyday, twice on Sunday. He is a butterfly that thinks he is a bird.

If he tries to fight Umahi like the agbero he is, we Igbos will humiliate him thoroughly. Umahi is dear to us and we will not tolerate any insult from Wike. He can insult Obaseki, Hope, Tinubu or anybody he likes, but the day he insults Umahi is the day he will dig his grave.

Trash, but you can continue decieving yourself. If you're a full grown adult, you will understand how Nigeria's politics is played. The sentiment going for the Igbos is the same that played for the Yorubas in 1999. An Igbo man will emerge as president in 2023, you can take that to the bank. Amaechi realized that and that's why he is running around telling whoever cares to listen that he is now an Igbo man.

Wike is finished politically going forward. He has destroyed PDP with his toutish behavior and lack of intelligence. He is now a liability to the party and why he is still being tolerated is because they're using him as their ATM.

Atiku won't even emerge the flag bearer of PDP, talk more of having Wike as running mate. However, you're entitled to your ignorance.

In Nigeria politics there is no set of politician more arrogant and senseless than Governors who are in their second term.

Wike o. Umahi o. All of una na the same

Free Umahi Mr Wike...

You don't even know what you are talking about overgrown adult.

Wike is the most foolish governor in Nigeria. The worst that can happen to a man is to be unreasonable and thoughtless yet thinks he is smart.

Wike is from a minority group, the ikwerre, but he was pulling weight that was far beyond his capacity. That weight was due to the enormous support he was receiving from Igbos, both IPOB and non IPOB supporters. Instead of him to be grateful, he turned around to attack his support base and made enemy out of them. He forgot that Hausas and Yorubas have never liked him but only tolerated his excesses.

At the moment, his greatest supporters are now his worst enemies and can't wait to see him humiliated.

Wike is now like an orphan, and is very vulnerable. If he continues to act recklessly like before, he would be thoroughly humiliated and nothing would happen.

wike is just heading to self destruct in full speed I pity though

You hit the nail about IPOB as Wike’s strong support base. But its obvious both have become enemies overnight.
