The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has said it did not call on former governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
A chieftain of the party in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, had during a meeting of APC stakeholders a few days ago, invited Wike to join the party in order to provide qualitative leadership for the party at the state level.
But, the party’s publicity secretary, Darlington Nwauju, in a statement made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday, said those who made the call were imposters and sponsored amorphous groupings acting as fronts for the former governor.attention of All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has been drawn to calls by imposters and sponsored amorphous groupings acting as fronts for the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Mr Nyesom Wike, that APC in Rivers State is calling on him to join the same party he had characterised as suffering from cancer.Wike working hard to justify their pay cheque.
“We wish to unequivocally dismiss any such rumour or sponsored story planted in any medium that Rivers State APC had at any forum invited Mr Wike to join our party none the least calling on Wike to take over leadership of a party he never campaigned for. “We dare anyone to provide video evidence of any campaigns where Mr Wike openly campaigned for the APC. The terror unleashed on our party members in the cause of his eight years maximum rulership alone is enough evidence to confirm that Wike has no business with Rivers State APC.“We are aware of his schemes to escape justice over the looting of the collective patrimony of Rivers people which is the major reason for his romancing top APC members.
