I will smoke you out of PDP, you are serial betrayal, Wike hits Obaseki

The war of words between River State Governor, Nyesom Wike and his Edo State counterpart Godwin Obaseki seems not to be ending soon as Wike has hit back at Obaseki, calling him a serial betrayal.

WESTERN POST had earlier reported that Obaseki flayed Wike for publicity attacking Edo Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

Obaseki had in an advertorial he published in a newspaper, told Wike that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was not his personal property.

Speaking at the commissioning of Community Secondary School, Omuanwa, in Ikwerre LGA on Monday, Wike said betrayal was in Obaseki’s DNA.

“Obaseki said I’m a bully, but he came to beg a bully for ticket, a bully was his campaign DG, and a bully bullied him into Edo State Government House. It didn’t end there; he still came back with his wife to thank the bully after the election. I slept in Edo State for three days just to deliver Obaseki, but today, I’m a bully.

“If you check the DNA of Obaseki, what you’ll see is betrayal, serial betrayal and ungratefulness,” Wike said.

Wike further called the Edo governor a tenant in the PDP, saying with Rivers’ contribution to the PDP, he had the right to threaten the party.

“He said I threatened PDP, assuming without conceding that I threatened PDP, I have every right to do so, I have invested in the party. Rivers State has invested in the party. Rivers State is one of the few states that has voted PDP since 1999, we have invested in the party. You’re a tenant in PDP, I have more stake in PDP than you.

“You said I’m causing crisis in Edo State, I have capacity, that is why I’m causing crisis.  I challenge you to come and cause crisis in Rivers State, then you’ll know who is who.

“Obaseki, I know your cohorts, I will smoke all of you out. Obaseki, I challenge you to defect back to the APC, we’ll shave your head.

 “I know those using you, if I decide to run for President, I will win all of you. Obaseki, melembe melembe. The game has started, I will make you loose weight,” Wike said.
