Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, says governors and others defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) lack conscience and cannot be trusted.

The governor said it is ludicrous and hypocritical of the APC to demonise the PDP and then still turns around to poach members of the same party.

Governor Wike, while speaking at the flag off of Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Road and bridge with spur to the East-West Road at Woji town on Tuesday, asserted that those defecting from PDP after riding on the back of the party to power, have proven that they are treacherous.

“People who could not win 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.”

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.”

The governor, has however taken a swipe at the former Director General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Petersidel, for lying that the Federal Government paid the Rivers State government N78Billion cash as refund for federal projects done by the State. According to him, the Federal government merely issued a promissory note which the bank is going to discount.

“I didn’t know he (Peterside) does not understand what they call promissory note. N78 billion was not backed up by cash by the Federal government. N78 billion was approved by Federal government, but not in cash. And so the bank has to come in to take it and discount it, because federal government is going to pay them back in the next four years.

Remains Bala and Tambuwal. We will never repeat the mistakes of Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa

Well said sir.

True.
Honestly, I fail to understand how many Nigerians reason.
You stay in one compound and point to another compound and say that criminals are living there.
And then you turn around and tell the same set of criminals that you have vacant rooms in your compound, and the same people u called criminals should come and live in your compound.
And they all start leaving the other compound to live in your compound.
Soon the other compound is empty as they moved to your compound.
Pls where are criminals now living?
In the other compound or in your compound
That is the Paradox of PDP and APC.

The criminals in PDP have only moved to APC to continue in their criminal acts, nothing changed.

Just that many Nigerians are too foolish to realise that.

Sagay already described Governors defecting to the APC as highly unprincipled and opportunists who want to remain relevant at all cost.

That's says a lot about the caliber of desperate opportunist the APC is admitting into its fold.

Una be the same thing abeg..

True talk..

What adjective can be used for a nation who is consistently fooled, recurrently deceived by the crafty politicians? Goofy? Very light! Fool? Not enough! Brainless? Yes, that is the very adjective!

You came second in 2019 election but your party fought the ruling party for you and won the battle for you but the only thing you can do to pay them back is to cross the same party they fought on your behalf. Nawao

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

With the right package, Wike will go

Wike talks too much, he's very close to becoming a public nuisance.


When Saraki and co defected to PDP, he didn't call them shameless.
