Uche Secondus, former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, can’t destroy anybody.
This is as he reacted to a comment by Wike in which the governor said he will “crush” party members associating with him.
While flagging off the construction of roads in Ikwerre LGA of Rivers on Saturday, Wike warned members of the PDP against associating with Secondus.
The Rivers governor said Secondus was removed as national chairman because he performed below the expectations of party members, hence those working with him to fight the “system” will be crushed.
“If anybody fights our system, we will fight the person back,” Wike said.
“We removed a national party chairman who was not doing well. All of them were here, we all agreed, now they are going to Abuja to hold meetings with the man we removed, thinking that you will use that to fight us, we will crush them.”
Secondus is an ally of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP. Wike fell out with Abubakar after losing the party’s presidential ticket to him.
Reacting to Wike’s comment in a statement issued by Ike Abonyi, his spokesperson, Secondus reminded Wike that power is transient and that he won’t be governor forever.
He said the Rivers governor lacks the power to crush anybody.
“Wike you cannot crush anybody, I cannot fight, only God can crush,” Secondus was quoted as saying.
The former PDP chairman added that nobody can remain in power forever.
Secondus was removed from office in August 2021 after multiple court orders were issued against his continuation as the national chairman of the party.
