Gov Dave Umahi has replied to Wike’s claims that PDP made him, while he revealed what PDP Governors do at night.
Jomog News Nigeria reports that, Gov Dave Umahi has replied to Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike’s claims that PDP made him what he is today.
This was revealed on a programme on Arise TV where he said he had contributed so much in the making of PDP, serving as a peacemaker and negotiator, insisting that he made the party what it is today and not the other way around.
Gov Wike had in a recent interviews said that “Umahi has the right to move to the APC, it’s his constitutional right, but we cannot in all cases allow Umahi blackmail PDP that made him chairman of the party, deputy governor, and governor and then you now realize there is an injustice against southeast.”
Governor Umahi who dumped the PDP for the ruling All Progressives Congress on Thursday, said that some Governors of the opposition party who speak against the Buhari government during the day, ‘go up and down at night’ begging.
According to him, Umahi said; “People say PDP made me what I am. That is absolutely rubbish. We made PDP what PDP is,” he said.
“It is the people that make the party and I’ve contributed so much in the making of PDP not the other way around. I’ve been a peacemaker.
“I’ve been a negotiator and even the Governor of Edo State coming on board was my prophecy which my fellow Governor directed the working committee to come and probe me but that was a big minus for them because you don’t probe a sitting Governor.
“Another one is that the PDP wants me to be castigating Mr. President. I have no other boss apart from Mr. President. And by my culture and upbringing you do not insult the elders. It’s not in my character.
“And some of them [PDP Governors] speak rubbish in the day and in the night they’re caps in hands and they start going up and down. I don’t do like that. So Mr. President remains my boss, father and boss and I’ve no regret about that.”
