The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on President Bola Tinubu not to succumb to the antics of meddlesome interlopers to force former governor Nyisom Wike to hijack the party in the state.
The party said recognising Wike would undermine the loyalty of party members, who had kept faith with the APC. According to Vanguard.
The Rivers state branch of the APC also urged President Tinubu to reject former governor Wike’s attempts to covertly impose himself on the party in order to seize control of its structures in the state in an open letter to him dated July 6 and seen by newsmen in the State House, Abuja, on Friday.
The letter, which was signed by Comrade Darlington Nwauju, the party’s publicity secretary, cautioned President Tinubu to be wary of Wike and his allies, claiming that the former governor’s assertions that he is now working to help the party will only damage devoted and devoted APC members and other stakeholders.
In a statement, the party stated, “We wish to clear the air that Gov. Wike did not deliver any value to our dear Rivers State APC.”
The group continued by recalling how the former governor had in the past inflicted incalculable savagery on APC members and their families in Rivers State, resulting in many deaths.
“Mr. President Sir, we would want to remind you that the Rivers State APC members and their families suffered unimaginable cruelty during the 2015 presidential election, resulting in countless fatalities. However, the Rivers APC withstood the previous Governor Wike’s aggressive violence against defenceless party members and supporters.
After the APC won the state election, Wike was not given any recognition by the Rivers state APC. The letter addressed to the president said, “Dear Mr. President, we wish to clear the air that Gov. Wike did not deliver any value to our dear Rivers State APC, rather he fought against our dear Rivers APC.”
The chapter asked Tinubu to oppose former Governor Wike “because he has no political ideology as the script he follows” and that he is “a consistent party man who built your ideals of party growth and sustainability on practical people-oriented philosophy, and a known rewarder of stewardship.”
