Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is having a good laugh at the National Assembly members of his Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He is mocking them, and daring them to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari. They cannot, he said.
The Lawmakers had, just before they proceeded on recess, threatened to impeach Buhari on return over the unprecedented worsening insecurity in the Country.
Earlier before their threat, they had staged a walk-out during Plenary because Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, blocked the Minority Leader, from presenting a motion on the State of insecurity.
Finally, they gave the President six weeks within which to improve the state of insecurity, threatened to impeach him otherwise, on return, and boasted that they had the numbers to do so.
But Governor Wike has dared his Party men and women to do so. He literally called them cowards, and chided them for daring to publicly say they will impeach the President when they have no balls to do so. He said they cannot even over-ride President Buhari, not to talk of impeaching him.
Wike spoke in Porthacourt, on Friday, when the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, APC, on Wike’s invitation, commissioned the Legislative Quarters built by Wike’s administration.
Said Wike while mocking his Party men and women: “People don’t like the truth, but the truth must be told at all times. They are saying they will impeach Buhari. They don’t have the balls. They don’t have it.
“Ordinary override, they cannot. Let us see who will stand up and say, Mr Speaker. They think they can use Nigeria. Wayo. Things you know you cannot do, why are you saying it.”
Wike has in the past couple of weeks been inviting high profile APC members to commission some of his completed projects in the State, and pointedly ignoring his Party members, triggering fears in the PDP that he could decamp to the APC.
Those who know him say: He will not.
