FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said “nobody has the monopoly of causing violence” in the wake of the political rift between himself and the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
He spoke yesterday in Port Harcourt at the Rivers State Ijaw Peoples Congress organised in his honour, according to Channels TV.
He cleared the air on the public perception that Fubara was speaking the mind of the entire Ijaw people as both battled for supremacy.
“So, all these people going to television to say Ijaw people are fighting me. ask them, all the Ijaw people in the House of Assembly were positioned.
“Who has Fubara made? All the things you see are people who are envious of our growth. They couldn’t do what we are doing today. These are people who we have defeated politically severally. If the opportunity comes again, we will defeat them again.
“I have made an Ijaw man governor of Rivers State. God used us. All of us here had sleepless nights. So who loves Ijaw more? Is it people who come out on television who can not even make their Ijaw brother governor? If they were that powerful, since the old Rivers State, has Ijaw ever become governor? Where are they?”
“I have told people that nobody has a monopoly on causing violence. The mere fact that we choose to play according to the rule of law. To be calm and not to turn ourselves into where investors would run away, and that is what we will continue to do.”
