Nyesom
Wike, governor of Rivers state, says the Department of State Services (DSS),
can intimidate other governors, but not him.
On
Thursday, the secret police accused Wike of a plot to cause mass violence in
the federal capital territory (FCT).
But he
described the allegations as false, saying the DSS was unhappy with him
because he stopped them from”kidnapping” a judge.
He spoke
while receiving the Rivers State Elders Council of Ministers (RISECOM).
“This is a
turbulent period. However, we will overcome. They can cow other governors, but
not Nyesom Wike,” he said.
“None of
them gave me the mandate to lead. The people of Rivers state gave me this
mandate, and I will never sell the interest of this state for whatever reason.
I will not bring out the money of Rivers to sponsor other people outside the
state.
“If they
like, let them bring all manner of accusations daily, it will not cow me. Three
days ago, they sponsored protests against me in Abuja, with the police leading
the protesters.
“I never
sponsored anyone to protest. Assuming, people want to protest, are we not in a
democracy?
“If I am
the one who is the sponsor of the planned protest, will they still protest
against me? It means they are the people who sponsored the protests.”
