I’LL PUT FIRE IN THEIR STATES – WIKE FIRES SHOT AT PDP GOVERNORS SUPPORTING FUBARA

Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, has warned PDP governors supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara that he will “put fire in their states”.

He said, “Not while we live will anybody take the PDP structure from us. I hear that some governors claim they will take the structure and give it to somebody. I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states.”

The threat was made during the Rivers State PDP Congress, held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Capital.

“We are party members, we have taken over our party members. We will not leave for anybody or allow anybody to take the party from us,” the FCT Minister added.

“Some governors say they will take the structure from us and give it to somebody. I hear that they have given them assurance that they will take the party from us. I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states. When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace. Whether you are in Bauchi or wherever, your hands will get burnt. You will never see pace again,” Wike said

Wike’s relationship with Fubara, his successor, has deteriorated since the latter emerged as governor in 2023. The two have been at odds, with the Rivers State legislative arm split into factions.

Party members have attempted to intervene, but their efforts have been unsuccessful. Meanwhile, PDP governors have consistently backed Fubara, which appears to have infuriated Wike.

    2027: I’VE NO PROBLEM DEPUTIZING PETER OBI, WE’RE READY FOR TALKS – KWANKWASO The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, in the 2023 elections, Rabiu Kwankwaso has hinted at the possibility of him deputizing his Labour Party counterpart in the last election, Peter Obi. In a video clip currently trending on X microblogging platform, the former governor of Kano State who spoke on Hausa, said he would be willing to deputize Obi “if certain conditions are met”. Kwankwaso, who claimed that he is politically bigger than Obi, said they are willing to engage in meaningful discussions with the LP leader to establish an agreement ahead of the 2027 elections. He said, “I’m bigger than Peter Obi politically, I’m his elder brother, I’m a PhD holder, I performed better than him when I was a governor of my state. I’ve no problem with deputizing Peter Obi, but only if certain conditions are met. “We are willing to engage in discussions, provided that trust is established”. In the 2023 election, Peter Obi won the majority of votes in 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja. The former Anambra governor came third with about 6,101,533 votes. On the other hand, Kwankwaso won the election in 38 of the 44 local government areas in Kano State, garnering a total of 1,496,687 votes in the elections.

    I REPORTED MY RAPE CASE TO SUPERIOR OFFICERS BUT THEY DISREGARD IT DUE ACCUSED PERSON’S RANK – DISCHARGED FEMALE SOLDIER

    I REPORTED MY RAPE CASE TO SUPERIOR OFFICERS BUT THEY DISREGARD IT DUE TO ACCUSED PERSON’S RANK – DISCHARGED FEMALE SOLDIER A former female soldier, Private Ruth Ogunleye, who was relieved from service after accusing a senior officer, Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem, of sexual harassment, has made further revelations about how superiors in the army refused to listen to her when she first reported her rape case. The discharged soldier disclosed this when she featured on an AIT programme monitored by SaharaReporters on Wednesday evening. During the interview, she levelled allegations against General Christopher Gwabin Musa, the current Chief of Defence Staff, and other superior officers, claiming they deliberately avoided thoroughly investigating her rape case due to the accused person’s seniority during her service. She said: “I sought intervention from people like General C. G. Musa, the current Chief of Defence Staff. I told him. I told so many officers. I sought redress but nothing was done because he is my senior, and nobody was ready to give me a listening ear. “I exhausted all the procedures; I sought redress using Section 179 of the Armed Forces Act and nothing was done. He would inject (me) and throw me inside a psychiatric hospital.” She accused Abdulkareem of making repeated attempts to assault her, administering injections against her will, forcibly removing her from her residence, and confining her to a psychiatric hospital for several months after she rejected his sexual advances. However, the Director of Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, said Ogunleye’s allegations lacked merit. The army spokesperson said that after an exhaustive review of the facts, testimonies, and evidence presented, it was determined that Abdulkareem did not commit the offences alleged by Ogunleye. Nwachukwu stated that medical reports following an evaluation at the National Hospital in Abuja indicated that Ogunleye was suffering from a condition that rendered her medically vulnerable.
