Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has threatened to increase the blood pressure of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio over his recent comments against South-South Governors.
Gov. Wike who gave this threat while speaking on live television on Friday, added that he would frustrate Akpabio, who according to him, is not qualified to question how funds were used in the oil-rich region.
While cautioning the former Akwa Ibom state governor to focus on his state, Wike advised him to desist from insulting south-south governors.
He further threatened to release a video of Akpabio in which the minister urged President Muhammadu Buhari to learn from what he (Akpabio) was doing in Akwa-Ibom state.
“You will never sleep again, I know you used to have high blood pressure, but I will add [something] small to it now. He is no longer taking his blood pressure medicine, I will give you your blood pressure, and you will take it because you can now abuse governors. Don’t near me, because I will frustrate you.
“Akpabio be careful!!! We know what Akpabio was doing when he was a governor. Now he has the immunity to insult South-South governors, we will meet one day.
“If his people loved him so much, why did he lose senate elections, ordinary senate elections? Now you will come and talk to us.
“When you were begging governors to come and beg on your behalf, you didn’t know how they were fighting you. Now you are abusing us. I will abuse you back at the appropriate time. Today is an introduction.
“This is why Nigeria cannot move forward because everyone is running away. When they say EFCC wants to come, you will run to the other party, let them protect you. The government they say is fighting corruption,” Wike roared.
Recall that Akpabio had made the comments that provoked Wike recently in Port Harcourt during the commissioning of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC Headquarters.
Gov. Wike was visibly absent at the event which was held in his home state, and was virtually commissioned by Buhari.
