PDP Crisis: I Will Fight Back Against My Aggressors – Wike
Wike has stated that he would fight back against his aggressors.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governor Nyesom Wike on Wednesday unapologetically said he will fight back against his aggressors over the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The PDP chieftain who has been at loggerheads with the party leadership and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said that though he is a Christian, he is not the born-again type that will take slaps on his two cheeks.

“I will blow your head off,” said the Rivers State Governor while speaking during the birthday celebration of his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu.
This online media platform gathered that Wike was among the dignitaries at Ikpeazu’s 58th birthday anniversary party on Tuesday.
In his address at the event, Wike described the Abia State Governor as a quiet man who observes the Bible verse that when “they slap you, turn the other cheek”.
Wike said he would rather retaliate than turn his other cheek if anybody slapped him, according to a statement by his spokesman, Kelvin Ebiri, on Wednesday.
“Ikpeazu is a quiet man and a born-again Christian; I’m not a born-again Christian. I’m a Christian but not a born-again Christian.
“I told Ikpeazu; they said if they slap you turn the other side, but me, if you slap me here; I don’t know if I would survive the other side. So, I will blow your head off,” Wike said.
Wike and his camp consisting of four other PDP governors are yet to drop their demand for the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign.
