Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has rejected the resignation of the chairman of the People's Democratic Party Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator
He berated a former Niger State governor, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu, for accusing of him of trying to destroy the leading opposition political party in the country.Wike said: “There is an issue; one thing annoys me and we seem to forget easily. There is one empty barrel; one man they call Aliyu Babangida, who will come out on national television to say somebody is destroying the party because he didn’t win the presidential primaries. That is an insult.
“For Christ’s sake, in a contest, there must be a winner and there must be a loser. I have no regrets; we contested the election very well and we are not ashamed. If Babangida Aliyu knew that he was important, he should have picked form so that we will deal with him. In any case, he was a governor and as a serving governor, he could not win a senatorial election.
“You should ask, if I come in today to campaign for my party or any other party, people will ask me, you that is campaigning self, what have you done in your state? Ask Aliyu Babangida, show me your report card when you were the governor of Niger State. I have been to Niger State and I asked people: when this man was governor, what did he do? Nothing!
