The Governor of Rivers State, Nyeson Wike, on Wednesday warned the Peoples Democratic Party against changing changing the venue of the party’s National Convention from Port Harcourt.
Wike made this known when the campaign team of the Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwanbo, who is aspiring for the presidency of the country on the platform of the PDP, visited him.
He vowed that the people of Rivers State will teach the party a bitter lesson if the venue is changed.
According to him: “Let me warn the party: if you dare, Rivers State will teach the party a lesson.
“Those days have passed when they took Rivers State for granted.
“Nobody can use and dump Rivers State.
“No presidential aspirant can use and dump Rivers State.
“We never lobbied for it, we never asked for it, but it will boost the economy of the state.
“People will make money.
“Those who are against Rivers people from making money to improve their businesses will not get our support.”
