Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has issued a strong warning to Godswill Akpabio, Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
He said, “We will tell Akpabio that when he was the governor, he was acting like a king. There was money that time. The exchange rate was N150 per dollar. Today, it is N500 for a dollar.”
“Akpabio had money but he had the temerity to ask South-South governors what they were doing with 13 per cent derivation.”
“Akpabio should not talk to Rivers State at all. He has no such authority. He is not qualified to talk to Rivers State. If he wants to talk, he should concentrate on Akwa Ibom State, or else, we teach him a lesson here. Akpabio should know that enough is enough.”
“If he (Akpabio) should talk here, I will teach him a lesson. I am not a sycophant and I am not an inconsistent person. I don’t give a damn. He cannot say he sees me in the Villa. If he does it again, he will regret it. I am not one of those governors he can turn around.”
