Governor Wike of Rivers State has said another PDP governor will follow Dave Umahi To APC.
Jomog News Nigeria reports that; Governor Nyesom Wike has said another Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governor will also leave, and follow Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Rivers state Governor made this disclosure while appearing on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Wednesday November 18, but declined to give the name of the governor or when he will leave the party.
According to him, he said; “I can tell you there is one PDP governor that will leave.
He is not leaving because of anything but he will come up with an excuse.
“The point is that these are the people who have been playing anti-party, who have been romancing with the APC in the night and coming to the PDP in the daytime.
“My problem with our party is that when you speak the truth, they will want to crucify you.
I have raised this issue several times,” Wike said.
The governor also said that people attribute too much power to governors when the real power lies with the people.
Wike said;
“We didn’t have party structure in Adamawa, we won because the people spoke. We didn’t have party structure in Bauchi, we won. The people spoke.
“As I speak to you today, performance is what gives any party, assuming a ruling party in that state, an advantage to win a future election. It is not because you are the governor.”
Wike also claimed that Umahi, who recently defected to the APC, has always been disloyal to the PDP.
