Nyesom Wike to join APC soon??

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged moves by
Rivers State Governor-elect, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, to dump the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join its fold, warning the
governor-elect to remain in his political party.

The
APC, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, and signed by
its State Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, condemned the planned
move, saying Wike’s aim is to obtain the cover of it and avoid
dethronement by the nation’s judiciary.


Finebone said, “Wike’s
latest move comes as no surprise to those who know his antecedents.
Having back stabbed his mentors like former Senator John Mbata in the
past and more recently Governor Rotimi Amaechi, he would only be living
true to the unreliable ally that he has grown to be.
“Wike’s
history is replete with sabotage and dual personality often unstable
among peers. So, we are not surprised at his latest moves to dump PDP to
join APC. Such a move portrays him as unstable in relationship having
at several instances, bitten the finger that fed him.
“He
thinks that by hiding under the canopy of APC membership, elders of the
APC will prevail on Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside, the governorship
candidate of the party at the April 11 election, to abandon his quest
for justice.”
Giving insight into the plan, the APC Scribe
explained that Wike, as soon as he is received into the APC fold, will
woo APC elders and leaders to prevail on Peterside to drop his quest for
justice before the Election Petition Tribunal.
He said, “Through
this, Wike would have hoodwinked APC elders and leaders into prevailing
on Dr. Peterside to withdraw his petition from the Tribunal. In short,
Wike seeks to hide under the cloak of party man to dodge standing before
justice to explain how he garnered the fictitious figures he claimed to
have secured at the April governorship poll.
“Aware
that Peterside is a true and loyal party man, unlike what he is; Wike
will propound the hypothesis of “this-is-a-party matter” to cajole both
Peterside and the leadership. Unfortunately, Wike has already shot
himself in the foot with the barbaric manner in which he obtained the
fraudulent victory he is currently parading.
“In any
case, the APC has placed restrictions on fleeing PDP members whose only
reason for jumping ship is because the PDP has lost the elections. Mr.
Nyesom Wike is a liability rather than asset. It would be best he
remains in the PDP, stand before Justice at the Tribunal and explain his
role in the rape on democracy in Rivers State last April 11. His late
night moves to join APC is only a ploy to protect the stolen mandate in
his pockets.”
However, when contacted, the chairman, media
and publicity committee of the PDP campaign organisation, Barrister Emma
Okah, sait it was untrue that Wike is planning to dump the party for
the APC.


Okah said, “I
cannot glorify APC with a response on a thing like that. It is
absolutely untrue, totally childish and a deceased imagination.”
Meanwhile, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has assured international investors of an investment friendly environment beginning May 29.
