Wike Slams Umahi, Says Nobody Should Threaten Anyone Just For Personal Gain

Wike further explained that Governor Umahi had threatened the
PDP by insisting that he would leave the party if it fails to zone
the 2023 presidential ticket to the South East.

“One state came up to say ‘if you don’t give South-East the
Presidency’, we will leave the party,” he said.

The Rivers State Governor who said there is nothing wrong in
being ambitious or in seeking the presidential ticket for the South
East, said the problem was the manner in which Governor Umahi went
about it.

He said, “You don’t do it in a way that you say ‘if you don’t
give us, we will leave’. Now, the place where you are going to,
have they come to tell you that they are giving you the
Presidency?”

He also dismissed the comments Umahi made, describing him as
controlling and a dictator.

Despite his criticism of Umahi’s actions, Wike described him as
his friend who knows him very well”.

“He can say whatever he wants to say today. If there is one
person who has supported Umahi very well; h he knows it is me,”
Wike said.

He, however, restated his displeasure with what he said is
Umahi’s decision to “threaten the party, dictate to the party”. He
also wondered how it is possible for Umahi to act as though he is
the only qualified person to run for presidency in the South
East.
