Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday said Nigeria will be engulfed in another civil war if his Benue State counterpart is assassinated.
Wike stated this while reacting to the attack on the convoy of Governor Ortom by gunmen Ortom believes to be herdsmen on Saturday, insisting that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration will be held responsible if the Benue Governor is killed.
A statement by Wike’s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, qouted him as saying: “If you kill Ortom, then be prepared to bury Nigeria. If anything happens to Governor Ortom, the Federal Government will be held responsible and they should be prepared that there will be no more Nigeria.”
