Governor of Rivers State, South-South Nigeria, Nyesom Wike has asked former governor of Kaduna State, North West Nigeria, Ahmed Makarfi to focus on how to deliver his state.
Gatekeepers News reports that Wike spoke while inaugurating the sand-filled area and estate layout project in Ogbum-Nu-Abali in Port Harcourt, the state’s capital.
Makarfi, had in an interview on Channels Television, asked Mr Wike to be subtle in his anger.
Makarfi warned Mr Wike against making decisions out of anger and emphasised the need for reconciliation in the party.
Wike in his response, faulted Makarfi’s recent jabs at him.
He said: “I watched Makarfi on national television say, Wike, you’re sabotaging other people.’ I don’t know who says the other people have not. What I want to advise Makarfi is, look, you have a job, make sure PDP wins in Kaduna State. That is your job, leave Wike alone.
“Take it upon yourself that Kaduna falls to PDP. I don’t want to hear excuses that they rigged election or they didn’t rig election. That is what I’ve told everybody. In Kano, make sure PDP wins. In Niger, ensure PDP wins, in Jigawa, make sure PDP wins. If you win, then see whether PDP wins here or not. It is operation deliver your state. Don’t use anybody’s state to add up.”
