A Member of the Rivers State House of Assembly representing Port Harcourt Constituency 2, Hon. Adoki Tonye Smart has berated Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi over his comments against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The lawmaker asserted that Wike is fully in charge of the FCT, and days of sponsored banditry, criminality and kidnapping were over in the territory.
Smart warned Gumi and others to desist from making inciting and disparaging statements against Wike and the southerners.
Speaking via a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday, Smart lamented that some northerners believe that the country belongs to them.
He fumed that Gumi, whose state produces nothing, had the effrontery to demand the sack of the FCT minister.
He said: “Those eras of planning with bandits and criminals to kidnap and share ransoms with them are over. Eze Nyesom Wike is the Minister of FCT, deal with it. See how foolish this man sounds.
“Some of these Northerners really believe that this country belongs to them. No wonder they saw it as their right for a Northerner to take over from another Northerner.
“For your information Gumi, that era is gone. A man that his state produces nothing for the country, sits in his dirty corner to ask for Wike’s sack as FCT Minister because he (Wike), received the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria in his office.
“Though we have been expecting this frustrating statement long ago. These bandits Sympathizers can no longer hide their frustrations since Wike was appointed as FCT Minister. That is why Gumi could not endure and have voiced out.
“FCT is built and maintained by the proceeds from Niger Delta. We have not complained. You want to enjoy our money, but you don’t want us to be FCT Minister. Shame on you, Gumi.”
