Their BP is rising, leave G-5 governors alone – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has reacted to the statement credited to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Atiku earlier said that he was not bothered by plots of five aggrieved governors, better known as G-5 governors, to endorse presidential candidates of their choice. Adding that he’s an elephant that has seen everything, noting that any man who can boast of stopping him (Atiku) should first make himself president of Nigeria.

Reacting to the statement, Wike during the flag-off of the construction of Eneka-Igbo Etche Road in Port Harcourt on Friday, said:  “We will go and swim, you are worried, yet you tell Nigerians you are not bothered. They said I had conversation with BBC, where is the picture and video. We don’t have Journalists again we have pressmen. You can see people not being able to give the correction information. Newspaper and Television houses are now running and standing for election.

“When I want to do something I will do it. You don’t need to speculate. They said there is trouble, there is no trouble. What we have is the introduction to the trouble that will come. Please my dear people, don’t border yourselves. They said we had meeting with somebody, what is your problem with it. Has Atiku not held meetings with governors of APC, ask him. As he is in Dubai, don’t we know what is going on? So, why do you border about us, G- 5 governors you said you can win without us. Leave us alone.

“My dear people, I just want to tell you that whatever decision I am going to take, I will let you know. I cannot make any decision without taking advice from you.

“I am not one who will go and see someone and hide. Who am I hiding from? Who is that person that will threaten me? He said he will sack me, go ahead, I am not worried. You that is sacking is worried.

“Try and see how you will survive it. So I just went to enjoy myself and family. Don’t you see the way I am looking now? Don’t you like the way I am looking.

“If you check their BP (Blood Pressure) it’s very high. My BP is like a kid … bring a doctor to check. Their own is running high every day.  They are killing themselves for nothing.”
