BREAKING: Five Days To Presidential Election, Wike Speaks On Joining APC
Despite the All Progressives Congress’s stance on zoning the presidency to the south, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has stated that he will not join the party.
The governor dismissed speculation that he would defect to the APC, insisting that he was an unrepentant member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Governor Wike made the remarks during the 114th quarterly general meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers on Monday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He informed the council ahead of Saturday’s presidential election that he would vote for only the candidate who could ensure the country’s unity.
Wike said, “I am not a member of the APC and I will not be. But, they have made me to recognise that they are the heroes of this country.
“The governors came out to say look, for the unity of this country, presidency should go to the south.
“The governors of the APC said the way the country is, they want the unity of this country and therefore, the presidency should go to the south.
“They could have as well said no, it doesn’t matter. As governors, we have the number. We can still say it should remain where it should remain. But they didn’t do that.
“They said the way we are seeing this country we want everybody to be together.
“Let no one say because I have the population, therefore, you will continue to dominate. In dominating you need peace, without peace you cannot govern.”
