Governor Wike has been challenged by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to name the alleged Presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) being sponsored by the APC.
The Acting National Publicity Secretary Mr. Yekini Nabena in a statement released on Sunday night, challenged the Governor of Rivers State to name the aspirant, as he believes the crowd of PDP Presidential aspirants are just wasting their time on an election that has been won and lost already. He said:
“In reacting to the allegations by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sponsored some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants, it is understandable that the PDP in its despair over its failed 2019”
Mr. Yekini Nabena having stated this, further urged Governor Wike to be brave enough to name the APC mole in the PDP Presidential aspirants being paraded by the opposition party. He said:
“Meanwhile, we challenge Governor Wike to be brave enough and name the APC-sponsored aspirants among the crowd that have signified interest to run for the presidency under the PDP. We urge the PDP to quickly wake up to the reality that the 2019 presidential elections have been won and lost.”
The APC spokes person asked those in PDP with progressive ideas to decamp to the APC, saying the PDP is already a sinking ship and already dead. He said:
“The PDP is a dead party and we urge its members who share our progressive ideal to leave the sinking and rudderless ship and come over to the APC which is rebuilding and repositioning the country in all facets.”
Governor Wike who himself has indicated interest to run for a second term as the Governor of Rivers State in the 2019 general elections, has also been receiving PDP Presidential aspirants since INEC lifted the ban on Political campaigns, but has refused to name who the APC sponsored aspirant is.
