The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday said in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, that all his opponents put together cannot defeat him.
The former two-term governor of Rivers State said this at a civic reception organised in his honour by Rivers Ijaw People’s Congress.
Wike said: “It is not true that Ijaw people are fighting me.
“A father may have 12 children, one can be an armed robber.
“These people who are going to television to attack me, where were they when we made an Ijaw governor?
“Nobody is fighting me.
“I am too big for anybody to fight.
“All these people put together cannot fight me.
“I told them if you put your hand in Rivers State matter, fire will burn you.
“Today, they are crying everywhere.
“Instead of concentrating on how to win elections in their states, they were busy having meetings in Enugu and Taraba States.
