Nigerians have reacted on Twitter to remarks made by Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa State, criticizing Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, was referred to as a bluff by Lamido during an appearance on Channels television on Tuesday.
Lamido made this comment in response to the conflict between Wike and Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential nominee.
When questioned if the residents of Rivers State would follow Wike’s orders, the previous governor, Lamido, referred to Wike as an emperor and indicated that they might choose to be his slaves.
He questioned why Wike is upset with Atiku and added that the governor of Rivers State ought to be upset with the PDP convention and not the former vice president.
The individuals who met with Wike and Atiku, according to Lamido, were not dispatched by the party but rather by well-wishers who wanted the problem to be handled.
However, several online users criticized the former governor of Jigawa for referring to Wike as an emperor and a tyrant on the microblogging site Twitter.
Here are a few of the reactions from Twitter:

My prayer every day is that my Gov should not listen to any reconciliation again. Let’s rock the boat and see how far.”

He once came on TV to bash his southern brother Peter Obi for Northern “Likes and followership” Now they are showing him d true meaning of brotherhood. I’m only just anticipating his band’s next single nothing more.”
@Necessary_Cho wrote: “I think Sule Lamido is the only person talking to Wike the way he should be spoken to. Truth is, no one owns PDP, including Atiku Abubakar, and in no way anybody’s ego should be allowed to determine what happens or who gets what in the party.”
@Buchyogba wrote: “Sule Lamido is still talking tough against Wike. The war in PDP is far from being over. We the onlookers are having fun. Whatever needs to happen for Peter Obi to emerge as the President, who are we to stand against it?”
