The Rivers State Chapter of the All progressive Congress party has suggested that the former Governor of Rivers state Nysome Wike alledgely joined the party to sustain his political ambition

According to the state leaders of the party, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwajulu, said, ”Our growth from 2015 to 2019 was 23.8 per cent, closing the huge gap of the 2015 presidential election. Then the 2023 presidential election came in with additional 80,881 votes in favour of the APC in Rivers State.“The question is, where is the helping hand of former Governor Wike? Can he claim to have helped Rivers APC with only 80,881 votes, when our growth showed organic growth since 2019?”

The chieftain asked, ”Can a non-party man take over a national ruling party in a state, simply because they claim to have helped the national party in his state with just 80,881 votes when such claims couldn’t be substantiated with empirical data ?”

“There is evidence to prove that Wike did not work for the APC. When he found out that his political career was gone, he decided to pitch his tent with APC, just to have a comfort zone to rob the APC in Rivers State.”
