“What I said and will continue to say is that all of us are from this country. Nobody is a second class citizen. We agreed that this is how our party will be.

“Recently, Prof. A.B.C. Nwosu resigned from the party, saying that his conscience will not allow him, that the constitution of the party is clear, if you take this, these other people will take that.

“Why now are we saying that we won’t do it again?
What the people are saying is look: You have taken this, let these people take that and you are saying you will take all.

“If you take all, you will also face the repercussions.”

Wike said because God had blessed Rivers State so much, anybody fighting it would not succeed.

He said: “You cannot fight anybody that God has blessed. God has blessed Rivers State.

“Anybody fighting Rivers State, you are fighting yourself. Nobody can intimidate us. No one state in this country can intimidate Rivers State.

“If you want to fight us, we will fight you to the last. If you want to make peace with us, we will make peace with you to the last.

“But thinking that anybody will come and intimidate us and then we will chicken out, that is not possible.”
