The PDP chieftain who has been at loggerheads with the party leadership and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said that though he is a Christian, he is not the born-again type that will take slaps on his two cheeks.
“I will blow your head off,” said the Rivers State Governor while speaking during the birthday celebration of his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu.
Reports that Wike was among the dignitaries at Ikpeazu’s 58th birthday anniversary party on Wednesday.
In his address at the event, Wike described the Abia State Governor as a quiet man who observes the Bible verse that when “they slap you, turn the other cheek”.
Wike said he would rather retaliate than turn his other cheek if anybody slapped him. The controversial PDP governor said he would blow off the head of anybody who slaps him.
“Ikpeazu is a quiet man and a born-again Christian; I’m not a born-again Christian. I’m a Christian but not a born-again Christian.
“I told Ikpeazu; they said if they slap you turn the other side, but me, if you slap me here; I don’t know if I would survive the other side. So, I will blow your head off,” Wike said.
Reports that Wike and his camp consisting of four other PDP governors are yet to drop their demand for the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
The governors, including Wike, Ikpeazu, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, have despite, the party’s ambitious move to return to power come 2023, insisted that a particular region should not provide the PDP’s presidential candidate and the National Chairman.
