Rivers State Governor, Nyeson Wike, has accused Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi,m of being selfish.
He said the reason Umahi moved to the All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party was to run for presidency.
Wike, however, said it was not only Umahi who was qualified for that.
He said this on ‘Channels Television’ on Wednesday night, where he also reacted to a claim by Umahi that he (Wike) was a dictator.
Wike noted:
“If there is one person that has supported Umahi, it is me. But for him to threaten the party is wrong.
“Umahi wants to run for President of Nigeria but he has no right to threaten anybody. Politics is dialogue and diplomacy. But who tells Umahi that he is the only qualified South-East person to be president?
“On the other hand, if you watch him today on Arise TV, he said one of the reasons is that Wike is a dictator. Wike controls the party. Which one do we take now? Was Wike in charge from 1999? When did Wike become relevant?. Umahi called me on Monday and told me he wanted to move and I said, you are free. However, check yourself, check your conscience, if you satisfied, you are free.”
