Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has assured Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, that his state will not hand over the governorship to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall that yesterday, Sanwo-Olu visited Rivers State to officially open the Orochiri-Worukwo (Waterlines junction) Flyover in Port Harcourt.
Wike, a former presidential candidate, advised the Lagos State governor not to believe propagandists who said they were going to retake the State from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He stressed that the past administration of the State would not be permitted to take office again, since they had robbed the State’s treasury.
He said, “My guest from Lagos State, let nobody tell you story that anybody will come here to win as governor of Rivers State. It will not happen.

“Those who looted the treasury of the State will not come here to be governor of Rivers State and I have challenged them.
“I am fully in charge. I am not that kind of governor people will go to Abuja and hold meetings against. I am fully in charge here.”
Recall that Governor Wike had earlier stated that $50 million was reportedly been transferred from the State Treasury to a private account by Rotimi Amaechi’s administration.
