The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), governorship candidate in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has described as “empty threats”, the 7-day ultimatum given to the party by elders in the state.

The Rivers Leaders and Elders Council, led by Chief Albert Horsfall, had giving an ultimatum to the PDP, to replace Wike, with somebody from the riverine area.

However, at the sensitisation rally on non-violent election organised by the Grassroots Development Initiative, GDI, Wike said the efforts of the elders are in vain.

He said: “Nobody can sit in his house and give directives. You cannot be in your house and say, I direct Riverine, because we refused your children from flying the flags of PDP for the House of Representatives. Elder statesmen do not talk anyhow. Theirs is to make peace and not incite the polity.”

“When they have received favour from Amaechi, they think they can direct PDP on what to do. You cannot direct an association you don’t belong to. They are making empty threats, mark it today, their efforts are in vain. If they know me very well, they will not be talking again,” Wike added.
