Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Monday denied insinuations he induced the deputy governorship candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) to defect
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Monday denied insinuations he induced the deputy governorship candidate of the African Action Congress Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party with N200million.
Governorship candidate of the AAC Biokpomabo Awara had alleged Wike paid N200m to Yeeh, who resigned and joined the PDP on Monday. Wike, who spoke through the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Emma Okah, described the N200 million allegation as untrue. Okah said: “The allegation that Govermor Wike gave AAC’s deputy governorship candidate N200 million is not correct, it is untrue and it is absolute nonsense.“Chief Yeeh is a respected elder from Ogoni Kingdom and his action by removing himself from being used to destabilise Rivers State and cause pain to the people is commendable.“We should commend him for taking the bold and historic step, instead of calling him names.
