“By doing that they are ridiculing us before Wike and Rivers people. Those people (Rivers APC South West leaders) have no business coming to the state to romance with Governor Nyesom Wike. The embarrassment we are receiving from APC leaders at national is too much. We will not take it.”

“Because of personal differences with Wike, my office, a three-story building was levelled. I will be in this state suffering for APC and governors from the West or Reps Speaker will come to Rivers and be praise singing and negotiating with Wike.
