The People’s Democratic Party of Rivers (PDP PCC) Presidential Election Council blasted Gov. Nisom Waikh over Wednesday’s visit to the Port Harcourt Government House by All Progressives Congress (APC) standard-bearer Bola Tinub.A statement by Rivers PDP PCC spokesman Leloonu Nwibubasa said the APC flagman’s visit ended all speculation that Wike had officially joined his party.
Nwibubasa advised the governor to stop constantly denying his current political position and support Tinubu. He added that Wike didn’t have a single strand of integrity or trust left to turn around and accept the ruling party.He said: Today, all speculation has come to an end due to the hypocritical denial of his current political status by Nigerians and Governor Nyesom Wike. I was greeted by all the members of the Rivers State Executive.
“This has not only justified the consistent position of the Rivers State Presidential Campaign Council that Governor Wike, who has wholly engaged himself in anti-party activities, has criminalized the mandate of the PDP, which offered him the platform upon which he was elected governor.
“Governor Wike’s previous utterances against President Buhari’s policies and poor governance performance, as well as the manner in which the Governor vilified and spoke despicably about Bola Ahmed Tinubu for telling Nigerians that he wants to continue Buhari’s legacy of good works, are diagnostic that he has no single strand of integrity and credibility left in him for turning around not just to embrace but to consummate his marriage to a party he described as cancer.
“”The show of shame is seen to have been ignorantly celebrated by his minions, who are all soon to become internally displaced politicians if they don’t return to good reasoning.” The people of Rivers State would have benefited more if the five hundred million naira that was disbursed for the failed mobilization of people to the APC presidential rally was voted into SMEs for wealth and job creation for the surging population of unemployed youths or for the payments of retirees’ benefits and gratuities.
“”It’s now obvious why Governor Wike ran to the courts to seek judicial asylum, knowing he was about to play his highly predictable last game of desecrating the mandate of the People’s Democratic Party.”
