I Didn’t Pay N200m For AAC’s Yeeh To Defect, Says Wike


However, reacting to the allegation of inducement on the part of the governor, Okah said: “The allegation that Governor Wike gave AAC’s deputy governorship candidate (Yeeh) N200million is not correct; it is untrue and it is absolute nonsense.

Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State, has denied the allegation that he induced the defection of Akpo Bomba Yeeh, the deputy governorship candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking through Emma Okah, his Commissioner for Information and Communications, on Monday, he denied giving Yeeh N200million to Yeeh to defect to his party.

Yeeh, who was the running mate to Biokpomabo Awara, the AAC governorship candidate, had announced his withdrawal and immediate defection to the PDP through a letter sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He said his decision was influenced by the "complete hijack of the structure and administration of our party by a faction of the APC in Rivers State led by the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, for his personal political ambition".

However, reacting to the allegation of inducement on the part of the governor, Okah said: “The allegation that Governor Wike gave AAC’s deputy governorship candidate (Yeeh) N200million is not correct; it is untrue and it is absolute nonsense.

“Chief Yeeh is a respected elder from Ogoni Kingdom and his action by removing himself from being used to destabilise Rivers State and cause pain to the people is commendable.

“Everything is not about money, as there are lots of good people around. We should commend him (Yeeh) for taking the bold and historic step, instead of calling him names.

“Future generations of our people will remember the moral lesson of his present actions.”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) had been barred from featuring candidates for elections in Rivers State and had chosen to back Awara, the AAC candidate.

If you pay will you talk?

Who do we ask. The deputy governorship candidate is too cheap at 200m considering the heat that APC is giving Wike from them. I bet dude never imagined he'd see that kind of money in life. He just got nominated by an unambitious popularity seeking guy looking for appointment or compensation when elections must have been over only for the Supreme Court to disqualify APC and APC decides to throw their weight randomly behind a hungry party in other to fight Wike.

To Wike the experience is a nightmare.

To the AAC Candidate being a major contender to a PDP stronghold is like a red sea miracle more or less like waking up one day and seeing Federal Powers telling a hen to peck the eyes of a tiger and discovering that the tiger can't fight.

Wike is wishing the AAC candidate can also be bought only if he can name his price.

Superlative Desperation.

Are you sure

ofcourse you will say yeah i paid him now.

Joyful

whether you do it or not ..it's call politics

Are you sure

Chief Yeeh only used the fame which the controversial election has given him to make a good bargain on position with the party that actually won the election..

Akara should go and sit down, or he thinks Amaechi would secure a position for him like he did dakuku?

Joyful

Inducement possibility 65%

The amount, not realistic..

Appointments or contracts may be
