If you’re close to America’s CIA, use it solve Boko Haram problem – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State at the flag off of the Igwuruta Internal Roads project on Wednesday in Ikwerre Local Government Area, vowed that he will never succumb to intimidation or threat from certain political leaders. He said that some retired military officers had even threatened him with their link to the CIA in the U.S., saying that they should use such American connection to solve the insecurity problem, notably, the Boko haram terrorism in Nigeria.

Governor  Wike highlighted: “Some people threatened that they are former generals, they are close to the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) in America; they can deal with us.

“I say, listen, no problem, if you are close to America’s CIA, why didn’t you use it to solve the Boko Haram problem?

“Nigeria has a serious problem and you are linked to the CIA, why not use that contact, and solve Nigeria’s problem?”

“You want to use it to threaten me, who are you? I should come and do your own bidding? I will not do that; I will do the biddings of Nigerians, not the biddings of a few individuals who believe that if they are not there, it must be their children; no other person should come up. I will not do that.

“A day shall come and Rivers State will take a decision on what to do.”

He vowed that one day he will expose certain politicians in the country, saying that many of the politicians are inconsistent.

Governor Wike had stated: “Time will come when Nigerians will know these types of characters; characters that will say all kinds of things because of power; characters that will be agents to destroy their own people…

“They should take one-day fasting and pray for their forgiveness because from what I have seen they are almost doomed.”

The governor, thereafter, declared:

“There is no amount of threats that will make me betray my people. I won’t do that; what I have said today is what I will say tomorrow. Go and check our history, we are not known for being betrayals at all.”

Wike stated that Rivers’ votes are not for free, threatening that Nigerians will be surprised at the outcome of the 2023 general elections if the Independent National Electoral Commission ensures fairness and transparency.
