Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said that some “former generals” threatened him with their connections in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a security outfit of the US government.
According to his special assistant on media, Kelvin Ebiri, while inaugurating road projects at Igwurita in Rivers state, Wike said instead of focusing on him, retired generals who have contacts in the CIA should use such links to support the fight against insurgency.
Although the Rivers governor did not mention any name, his comment may not be unconnected to the reported action by some northern PDP chieftains against his presidential ambition.
