Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has said he refuted claims that he would interfere with the administration of the governor-elect, Simialayi Fubara, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded governorship election.
Wike also said that he would not run away from Nigeria due to the fear of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after the end of his tenure on May 29, 2023.
The governor was reacting to recent revelations by the Chairman of EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, that the agency would arrest corrupt governors whose tenures end on May 29.
Wike, who spoke on Channels Television breakfast programme, SUNRISE DAILY on Monday, said he is not bothered by the threat to arrest governors and would gladly honour the EFCC if invited at the end of his tenure.
According to him, “I’m not going to run away because of EFCC. Why should they invite me? If they invite me, I will honour their invitation. I will not run away.”
