EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has raised an alarm of an alleged plot to assassinate him.

The aggrieved governor insisted that despite the threat, the focus of the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is to ensure that the electorate uses their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) “to teach a lesson to those who think they can undermine the state.”

Wike, who spoke on Thursday at the PDP campaign flag-off rally organised for Tai Local Government Area (LGA), which was held at Primary School II field in Kpite Town in the area, said he is being targeted for elimination.

The G5, which Wike is a prominent member of, came about after Atiku Abubakar defeated Wike and others to become the PDP presidential candidate for the 2023 election.

The group has been demanding the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to pave the way for a southerner to lead the party in order to achieve a “regional balance”.

The governors’ argument is that both Ayu and Atiku hail from northern Nigeria.

The governors and other party members loyal to Wike withdrew from the PDP presidential campaign committee.

The Rivers governor said: “But, what did I really do that they want to kill me? I only insisted that since the north has produced the presidential candidate, the national chairmanship slot should come to the south. This is on the principle of ‘live and let’s live.’ Did I do wrongly [sic]?

“Can they kill me? Will you allow them to kill me? Will you protect me? So, we will defend our votes. You’ll stay there and make sure you’ll vote for our candidates. Then, we will use our Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to pepper them.”
