- Wike said he was unfazed by the things people said about him on social media as the platform did not determine the outcome of the last election in Rivers.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said the wheat will be separated from the chaff when push comes to shove in Rivers politics.
Wike said the people of the state would soon know who wields the real power and who is truly in charge when it’s time for politics.
His comment is coming amid the political crisis rocking the state as he is embroiled in a power tussle with the sitting governor, Sim Fubara, over the political and economic control of the state.
Wike spoke when he visited the South-South Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Victor Giadom, at his Bera country home in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to Wike: “Forget about these hungry noisemakers on the road. When the time comes, we will know who is in charge and who is not in charge. There is a time for everything.”
Wike said he was unfazed by the things people said about him on social media as the platform did not determine the outcome of the last election in Rivers.
“This is not time for politics. When the time comes, we will know who is who. If you like, abuse me as you want. If you like, employ everybody on social media. I have never bothered myself one day to know who is abusing me.
“Politics will come. We didn’t contest election based on social media. We spoke to the people; they listened and believed in us.” he said.
On his realignment with Giadom, Wike said: “Party will come and go and friendship will remain. We have made our mistakes. We are all humans but friendship remains.”
