[Video]: “Thunder fire you and your ultimatum.”- Gov. Wike fires back at NC over ultimatum

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, of Rivers state has responded to the 48-hour ultimatum given to him by members of the socio,-cultural organization of the Ijaw nation to release House of Representatives member, Hon Farah Dagogo.

Recall that, a federal lawmaker representing Degema/Bonny in the House of Representatives, Dagogo was allegedly arrested on Governor Wike’s order last week for allegedly disrupting the screening of governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt. He was said to have been arrested alongside others and ordered to be remanded in police custody by a magistrate’s court in the state.

Reports gathered that Governor Wike had earlier declared Dagogo wanted “for hiring cultists to attack the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secretariat in Port Harcourt”. However, the Ijaw National Congress through its President, Professor Benjamin Okaba, in a statement titled “Arrest of Hon Farah Dagogo: Political Persecution of An Ijaw Son” and released over the weekend, called for his immediate release from incarceration within 48 hours in the interest of peace, justice and fairness, insisting that the charges leveled against him (Dagogo) were bailable.

However, while speaking at a church program on Sunday, May 8, Gov Wike said the Ijaw youths don’t know who they are dealing with. He mentioned that instead of them coming to peacefully ask what happened, they are issuing an Ultimatum. “I don’t know why people don’t know the person they are dealing with. You are threatening me and giving me 48 hours. Instead of you to come to the government and ask what is happening and the solution, you are threatening me, may thunder fire you and ultimatum," Wike fires back.
