Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has opined that the Minster of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, can only set fire on states where the governors are not in total control.
LeadNaija recalls that Wike, while speaking weeks back at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, during the party’s state congress, warned the party’s governors to stay clear of the political affairs in the state.
He threatened to set fire and cause a political crisis in the state of any PDP governor pushing for the Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to take over the structures of the party in the state.
However, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Fayose stated that such a fire cannot burn in a state where the governor has nothing to hide.
According to him, when a governor has a grip on his state, he has nothing to fear.
He said, “As a sitting Governor, when I was Governor of Ekiti State, I had nothing to hide.
”If a governor or former governor says he will put fire in my state, it is either I am not strong at home or I have lost control in my state, then I have a lot to fear. I speak my mind and I don’t hide it.
“You can tell my position. The moment you have a grip of your state, you have nothing to fear. But the moment you don’t have a grip of your state, obviously you have a lot in your hand to face.”
