Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, has suggested the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, can only set fire on states where the governors are not in total control.<\/p>\n

He suggested that such a fire cannot burn in a state with a strong governor who has nothing to hide.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Wike, while speaking at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state capital, during the party\u2019s state congress, warned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors to stay clear of the party\u2019s affairs in Rivers.<\/p>\n

He threatened to set fire and cause a political crisis in the state of any PDP governor pushing for the Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara to take over the structures of the party in the state.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Channels Television\u2019s Sunday Politics, Fayose, a friend and political ally of Wike, said, \u201cAs a sitting Governor, when I was Governor of Ekiti State, I had nothing to hide.<\/p>\n

\u201dIf a governor or former governor says he will put fire in my state, it is either I am not strong at home or I have lost control in my state, then I have a lot to fear. I speak my mind and I don\u2019t hide it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can tell my position. The moment you have a grip of your state, you have nothing to fear. But the moment you don\u2019t have a grip of your state, obviously you have a lot in your hand to face.\u201d<\/p>\n
