The APC in Rivers State alleges that Governor Nyesom Wike has established a strategy to secretly join their party. This claim was made by the party’s spokesperson in the state on Thursday.
According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike is secretly plotting to join the party through the back door, despite having previously criticized and mocked it.
Darlington Nwauju, the APC spokesperson in Rivers State, accused Governor Nyesom Wike of instructing council chairmen in the state to gather votes for the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the upcoming February 25th, 2023 presidential election. Nwauju expressed surprise that Wike, who has frequently criticized the APC, would now want to join the party.
The APC expressed their surprise that Wike, who has publicly denounced the party and once referred to it as a “cancer,” would now want to become a member, Nwauju stated.
This claim by the APC follows allegations from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that Wike is working for the APC. A director in the PDP’s presidential campaign council, Abiye Sekibo, made this accusation in response to the cancellation of the approval granted for the use of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt by the Rivers State Government. According to Sekibo, Governor Wike lacks the courage to publicly support Tinubu.
However, the Commissioner for Information in the state, Chris Finebone, dismissed the claims that Wike is secretly trying to join the APC as laughable. Finebone argued that it is the APC that is pursuing the governor.
The commissioner said: “The high wire politics of Governor Wike is beyond the infantile understanding of little chaps in Rivers APC and their collaborators. Hence, the different wild conjectures. The governor holds (all) the aces and is always ahead of them,”.
“Governor Wike and all of us remain solid members of PDP. Losing sleep over who we will vote for president shouldn’t be their headache but if they had chosen to do so, so be it,” he added.
