'Fifty-eight political parties did not endorse Wike as their sole governorship candidate'
As such, they took the following decisions: “That we wholeheartedly disassociate ourselves from the concocted, misguided and shameful endorsement of Barr. Nyesom Wike as sole governorship by candidate by a purported coalition of 58 political parties. Such endorsement is watery and belated.

The Coalition of Governorship Candidates and Party Chairmen (CGCPC) has denied claims that 58 political parties endorsed Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State, as their sole governorship candidates

CGCPC accused Wike of plans to cause violence in the state during the March 9 governorship election, just as they dissociated themselves from endorsing Wike as a sole candidate for the election

This was contained in a statement issued by Pastor Warigbani Ezekiel Zebulun, the CGCPC Chairman and APDA governorship candidate, and Honourable Chibuzor Anele, the CGCPC Secretary, on Monday.

The CGCPC said they had studied the political terrain and recent events in Rivers State and had “frowned at them”

Discreet information reaching us reveals that the PDP-led government in Rivers State has acquired illegal arms and ammunition and have distributed same to various local government areas of the state to scuttle the forthcoming governorship and state House elections through violence and maim-marked political opponents in the state. We, therefore, call on the Nigerian Police and her sister agencies to set out their dragnets and swiftly go into action with a view to apprehending and prosecuting the culprits.

“To this end, we call on Rivers people (men and women) to prevent children and their wards from being used as agents of violence before and after the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in the state. Enough is Enough! Those who want to put the children of others in harm’s way should first bring their relations and children to the forefront.
