You’re hopeless, without conscience – Wike blasts govs defecting to APC

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has criticised Governors defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike disclosed that State Governors dumping PDP are hopeless, shameless, and without conscience.

The Governor spoke at the inauguration of Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Road and bridge, with spur to the East-West Road at Woji town.

His remark was made public in a statement signed by his spokesman, Kelvin Ebiri entitled, “Governors, others who defect from PDP to APC lack conscience-Wike.”

Wike disclosed that Governors who dumped the PDP cannot win elections on their own.

As indicated by him, PDP assisted them to win their elections through what he called, “technicalities.”

He said, “People who could not win an ordinary election. The party used technicality and went to court and got victory. Now, they say they are leaving the party. Hopeless, shameless human beings, people who have no conscience.”

The Governor also alleged that the APC-led government was pressuring PDP Governors to join the ruling party.

However, Wike vowed never to allow APC rule Rivers State.

He said, “Bring everything you have against me; I will not join you. Rivers State will not join you. Even if it is the only Rivers State in this country, we will continue to be in the Peoples Democratic Party.”

Recently, the Peoples Democratic Party has lost three Governors to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

During the weekend, Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State dumped PDP for APC.

Similarly, Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi and Cross River State counterpart, Prof. Ben Ayade had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
