Wike, who received members of the Rivers State Caucus of the National Assembly in Abuja, said the onus was on stakeholders to defend the party structures.

The federal legislators who visited his office in solidarity reiterated their loyalty to the minister.

Wike emphasised that any move aimed at destroying the political structures that were built since 2015 will be resisted.

He said he was not interested in the governance of Rivers, stressing that his hands are full as FCT minister.

He said,

“I am not interested in the governance of Rivers. I am here as governor in FCT. I am interested in the political structure we’ve built over the years in Rivers.

“Anybody who tries it will get the resistance of his life; anybody who puts his hands in Rivers political structures, what you see, you see.”

The minister chided those who accused him of demanding 25 per cent from Fubara, saying that they were ignorant.

He said,

“I was governor for eight years. I am now FCT minister, not just minister, and some will say that I am asking for 25 per cent; that is madness.”

Wike said in life, people should learn to appreciate those who in one way or another contributed to their lives.

He charged the legislators not to disappoint the state and the country.

Wike stressed,

“Those of you that God has given the opportunity, don’t disappoint your state, don’t disappoint Nigerians.

“When you make a mistake, we will call you to order. Take it in good faith; don’t say we are coming for kickbacks.”

The leader of the delegation, Kingsley Chinda, House of Representatives Minority Leader, said;

“We thank you for your invaluable support for all of us. You supported us all through the primaries. You are the reason why we are in the National Assembly today.”

Chinda noted that in barely three months, Wike has changed the face of the FCT, reminiscent of his days as governor of Rivers.

He also condemned the political crisis in the state, saying that it was unwarranted.

Members of the Rivers State National Assembly Caucus that visited Wike were all three senators from Rivers State and 11 House of Representatives members.

They are: Senators Barinada Mingi, Ipalibo Harry Banigo and Allwell Onyeso.

The House members apart from Chinda are Honey Felix Nwike, Boniface Emerungwa, Blessing Emezureke, Victor Onozor, Fun Deakor, Solomon Bob, Kelechi Nworgu, Hart Cyril Goodwill and Allison Anderson.
