Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The lawmaker representing Akuku\/ Asari Toru Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Boma Goodhead, and other protesters have dared the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike to return to Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Goodhead and the others also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call the former Governor of Rivers State to order, vowing never to fold their hands and watch the FCT Minister pocket Rivers State.<\/p>\n

In a protest led by the lawmaker, Wike was warned not to return to the state he governed for eight years<\/p>\n

Wike was also warned to keep his goons in check.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to send a clear message to the Federal Government of Nigeria,\u201d Goodhead said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu believes that Wike delivered Rivers State to him but even Wike failed in his unit. He failed in his ward and even in his LGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to tell Ahmed Bola Tinubu to call Wike to order because the next time he comes into Rivers State to disturb the peace of the state we\u2019ll not fold our hands and watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike should come to Rivers State and we\u2019ll show him what it means to hold Rivers State. We dare you, to come back to Rivers State again if you\u2019re a man.\u201d<\/p>\n
