The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has admonished politicians in Rivers State against violating the laws of their political parties.
Wike issued the admonition at his residence in Port Harcourt while receiving the traditional ruler of Ogbaland.
Wike’s counsel to is contemporaries is coming amid his feud with Fubara and the ongoing crisis in Rivers state.
He also warned politicians against destroying the road that they trod to success.
According to Wike: “Don’t pull the ladder that you use in climbing. When you are coming down, the ladder may not be there. And leave the ladder too so that other people can also climb the ladder.”
The immediate past governor of the state also refuted claims that the political turmoil in the state was an ethnic war, stressing that there was no such consideration.
“We didn’t vote based on ethnicity, but for the unity of Rivers. We shall never be part of violence but we will always support peace.
“There are rules within the political group from which you emerge. You cannot say that because an Oba has emerged and then an Oba will not follow the rules of the traditional institution. No, an Oba will always obey the rules. So also in politics. There are things you must not do and there are things you must do,” he stated.
