Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, after receiving a letter of nomination as “Independent Newspapers Political Icon of the Year 2017” in his office in Port Harcourt, the state capital yesterday February 9th, said APC is a congregation of people who were tired of Jonathan in Office.
In his words;
“APC is not a political party in the true sense of the word. It is a congregation of people who did not want Former President Goodluck Jonathan to continue in office for personal reasons. The fight against Jonathan was not in the interest of Nigeria. They have realised their mistakes, but they lack the courage to apologise because of their ego. If you move around, you will see that things are bad “, Governor Wike said
Wike continued alleging that the ruling party, APC, has plans to rig the governorship elections in three states controlled by PDP; Akwa Ibom, Delta and Rivers state
”All the the mass registration of new political parties is a deliberate plan by INEC to manipulate elections in three states. Rivers State, Akwa Ibom and Delta States have been earmarked for the printing of ballot papers where some newly registered political parties will be excluded as a ground for the nullification of the elections by the tribunal. After the nullification by the tribunal as planned, EFCC will be used by the APC Federal Government to arrest the three governors, so that they will not be around during the repeat elections “
