The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has stated that he will keep defeating corrupt politicians in Rivers State.
Wike made these remarks in Port Harcourt during a special Thanksgiving event organized by Kingsley Chinda, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, to celebrate his birthday and his new role in the National Assembly.
Wike mentioned that Chinda was a strong candidate to succeed him in 2023, but he faced pressure that prevented him from doing so.
According to Wike: “Pressure came on me at a time when we wanted someone who would succeed me. One of the very best I would have presented would have been Kingsley Chinda, not those Ikwerre people who were running around saying they wanted to be governor, that they could not serve a master and boy.
“But they are waiting on the road now to serve the boy. No real Ikwerre man says that and goes back. Chinda had told you not to bother yourself. In Ikwerre tradition, when you start beating the drum of wrestling, it is not at that time that the real wrestlers will come out.
“The real wrestlers will come in later, towards the end. Leave all these people who cannot stand ordinary hunger. Leave these political harlots; I will continue to defeat them. What you know, you know.”
