Wike To Ikpeazu:  Don’t Ask Me To Leave My PDP Enemies To God; God Is Busy;  I Will Flog, Pepper And Crush Them

By Adesina Soyooye

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has sworn not to leave those he identified as his Political enemies in his Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to God.

He said God is too busy and should not be disturbed. He said God has given him, Wike, the wherewithal and power to deal with his enemies. He said he would flog and pepper them and would never leave them in the hands of God as the ultimate Judge.

The Governor made his stand public on Monday while inaugurating the Osisioma Flyover, Aba, Abia State, build by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

Wike has been at loggerheads with the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku  Abubakar, since Atiku beat him to a second place in the PDP Presidential Primary, and refused to pick him as his running mate in favour of his Delta State counterpart, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa. There us also a long list of those he is fighting in tye PDP over Atiku, including the National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, and a number of Party Chieftains in, almost all the States, including Rivers State.

All appeals to him to let go and allow peace to him have been in vain. Almost on everyday basis, he taunts and threatens the PDP, Ayu, Atiku and other Party chieftains. He is also openly romancing the Presidential candidates of other Parties, especially, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

On Monday, Wike told his listeners how Ikpeazu, one of the Governors in his camp, asked him to let go and let God fight the battle.

He told his response to Ikpeazu. He said he told Ikpeazu that God was occupied with so many other things and that there was no point disturbing God when God has equipped him to pepper, flog and crush his political enemies in the PDP.

Why disturb God, he said, when God already gave him the capacity to crush such people.

Wike: “I was on a plane with him (Ikpeazu) and we were discussing, and he said why won’t I leave this thing for God and I said what do you mean by that?

“Why are you overcrowding God? God has given me what it takes for me to crush these people, for me to crush my enemies and you are telling me I should leave it for God.

“No. God has given me what it takes. God has so many things to do. There are the ones I should do and there are the ones I should call God.

“Now that I know I have the capacity to flog these small boys and you want me to go and leave it for God. I am going to flog them pepper. Anybody who doesn’t understand that let him know that I am not going to wait at all.

“All those ones who are talking in my state calm down, when we start campaigning, we will know who is who.”

He also dismissed, as a waste of time, efforts to lobby and break the ranks of, especially, Governors in his Camp.

Wike: “I don’t associate myself with those who cannot show anything. I associate myself with people I know have something to offer. Ikpeazu I want to say it without fear or favour and without any contradiction, you are a man that knows what to do for his people.

“I and Ikpeazu have come a long way. People do not understand relationship. They think relationship can be bought with money. No relationship can be bought with me.

“That is why when I read on pages of newspapers, they said some people were making attempts to break my rank and I say they don’t understand the modus operandi of what we are doing.

“If they understand the modus operandi, they won’t waste their time. If you like go and meet Ikpeazu, Seyi, Ortom, Ugwuanyi, you don’t even understand the modus operandi.

“These are not the people doing what you are seeing. We are using ourselves as if we are the people. We are not the people so you are making mistakes”.
