Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has lambasted governors and other political office holders defecting from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) saying that such moves indicate that they lack conscience and cannot be trusted.
Berating the ruling APC, the governor said it was ludicrous and hypocritical of the APC to demonise the PDP and then still turns around to poach members of the same party.
Governor Wike, made this comments while speaking at the flag off of Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery road and bridge with spur to the East-West Road at Woji town, yesterday. He asserted that those defecting from PDP after riding on the back of the party to power, have proven that they are treacherous.
He expressed: ‘People, who could not win ordinary election. The party used technicality and went to court and got the victory. Now, they say they are leaving the party. Hopeless, shameless human beings. People who have no conscience’.
Governor Wike accused the APC-led government of blackmailing and coercing some PDP governors and members to join the ruling party.
He reiterated that no amount of blackmailing or intimidation will make him leave the PDP.
‘Bring everything you have against me, I will not join you. Rivers State will not join you. Even if it is only Rivers State in this country, we will continue to be Peoples Democratic Party’ he stressed.
