Wike Deserves No Praise For The Growth Of APC In Rivers State – Party Chieftains

Nyesom WikeSome chieftains of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State have come out to say that the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike ran to the party to save his political career.

This was recently revealed via a statement signed by the state publicity secretary of the APC in Rivers State, Darlington Nwajulu, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to them, the formation and growth of the APC in the state took the efforts of several loyal members who mostly lost their lives in the struggle to ensure a solid party structure in the state, so no one should try to praise Wike for it.

The party leaders added that it is unfair for President Bola Tinubu to reward a man who piloted affairs when the party faced a lot of onslaughts in the state.

It read, “Our growth from 2015 to 2019 was 23.8 per cent, closing the huge gap of 2015 presidential election. Then the 2023 presidential election came in with additional 80,881 votes in favour of the APC in Rivers State.”

“The question is, where is the helping hand of former Governor Wike? Can he claim to have helped Rivers APC with only 80,881 votes, when our growth showed organic growth since 2019?”

“Can a non-party man take over a national ruling party in a state, simply because they claim to have helped the national party in his state with just 80,881 votes when such claims couldn’t be substantiated with empirical data.”

“There is evidence to prove that Wike did not work for the APC. When he found out that his political career was gone, he decided to pitch his tent with APC, just to have a comfort zone to rob the APC in Rivers State.”
