Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, has stated that a top army officer once gave an order for him to be shot while he was still governor.
In an interview with Channels Television, Wike said during his time as governor, General Sarham, who was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army in Rivers State, ordered a colonel to shoot him.
Wike said the colonel refused to carry out the order and General Sarham detained the colonel for six months because of that.
In Wike’s words: “General Sarham ordered that I should be shot, that is why when I heard that he is in NSA’s office I refused to go there again. It is not APC I am supporting, I am supporting Bola Tinubu. General Sarham ordered as a sitting governor I should be shot, the colonel refused and he detained the colonel for 6 months.
