The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has made a strong revelation regarding his affairs with some retired generals in the country

Wike maintained that some retired leaders are threatening him with the Central Intelligence Agency of America if he fails to do their bidding. The PDP chieftain however charged the generals in Nigeria to use their CIA contacts to solve the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria, instead of threatening him and his friends

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has said some retired military generals in the country threatened to use their CIA contacts to deal with him if he did not do their bidding.

The Central Intelligence Agency of America (CIA) is the US intelligence service tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT) and performing covert actions.

Speaking in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, August 31, Wike described as unfortunate the inability of those retired generals to use their contacts to solve the Boko Haram insurgency, Daily Trust reports.

The governor spoke while flagging off internal road networks at Igwurita, Rivers.

“Some people threatened that they are former generals, they are close to the CIA in America and they can deal with us. I said listen, no problem.

“If you are close to America CIA , why don’t you use it to solve Boko Haram problem.
“Is it on my body(me) you’ll use it? Nigeria has a serious problem and you are close to CIA, you know them as former generals, why not use that contact and solve Nigeria’s problem?”
