Wike’s special assistant for media, Kelvin Ebiri, noted that the governor made the comments at the opening of a road project in Igwurita, Rivers state.
While Wike avoided mentioning any names, his comment may have something to do with the alleged opposition to his bid for the presidency by some northern PDP chieftains.
Northern party stalwarts reportedly met to choose a compromise candidate on May 28 hours before the PDP presidential primary was set to begin, but they were unable to come to an agreement.JAMB Result

You know them as former generals. Why not use that contact and solve Nigeria’s problem? You want to use it to threaten me,” he said.
