Wike Slams Turaki Over US Intervention Call in Nigeria, Cites National Security Threat

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike condemned Umar Turaki's call for US intervention in Nigeria's politics, labeling it a threat to national security. Turaki had alleged ongoing genocide against Nigerian Christians and appealed for foreign intervention, which Wike dismissed as irresponsible and dishonest.

Wike urged political actors to prioritize the nation's interests over trivial matters. He also criticized Turaki for dragging foreign governments into Nigeria's internal crisis, emphasizing the need for responsible actions.

Wike highlighted the importance of evidence before making grave allegations on national television.
