Rivers APC Protests Wike’s Plot to Join Party
POLITICS DIGEST- The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has opposed the inclusion of former governor Nyesom Wike in their ranks, alleging that he terrorized the party throughout his eight-year tenure.
In a statement issued by Darlington Nwauju, the party’s Publicity Secretary, it was made clear that Wike’s previous actions rendered him unwelcome within the APC.
Referring to him as an adversary, Nwauju stated, “The terror unleashed upon our party members during his maximum rulership of eight years alone serves as undeniable evidence that Wike has no place in Rivers State APC.”
The statement reads in full: “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has been drawn to one nugatory and feckless Press Statement credited to one imposter that goes by the name Darlington Nwauju, wherein he attributed the position of Rivers State APC Spokesperson to himself and impulsively condemned the glorious call for Wike to come to Rivers APC.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored that spurious hogwash for what it is, but due to his bogus claim of speaking for Rivers APC, hence this riposte.

“First, it should be noted that Darlington Nwauju does not have any moral justification to speak for Rivers State APC because himself and the people he represents have since abandoned the APC in Rivers State and openly endorsed and supported and voted for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar during the last Presidential election, against the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“To put the record straight, it is no longer news that Amaechi and those he holds in perpetual servitude have totally abandoned Rivers State APC since his spectacular and mortifying defeat at the APC Presidential primary election and had long thrown their support behind Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
“That preposterous abandonment of the party by the former leader of the Party in the state, Rotimi Amaechi for Atiku Abubakar, almost rendered the party moribund in the state, but for the timely and bravery intervention, take-over and rehabilitation of the carcass of Rivers APC by Hon. Chief Tony Okocha KSC JP DSSRS.
“The contributions of the former Governor of Rivers State, Chief Ezenwo Nyesom Wike and the Leader of APC in Rivers, Chief Tony Okocha to the victory of President Bola Tinubu within and outside Rivers State cannot be overemphasized.
“It is therefore only an enemy of APC that will be against the glorious and strategic call for Wike to join the party”.
