Abusing president Buhari is like insulting my father — Gov Wike

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has falsified the rumours that he insulted President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the president was like a father to him.

Governor Wike made this revelation while flagging off the construction of Eneka-Igbo Etche road in Rivers state on Friday following his return from London.

According to Governor Wike; “I have never insulted Buhari, I only criticise him. Insulting Buhari is like insulting my father.”

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has also said that the G-5 governors have not signed any deal with any presidential candidate ahead of the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.

The Informant247 observes that the G-5 otherwise known as the Integrity Group, is made up of Governor Wike (Rivers), Governor Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Governor Samuel Ortom (Benue), Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).

The governor has described claims that the 5 governors met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC to endorse him ahead of the presidential election, as untrue.
