Wike responds to calls for his resignation from PDP.
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has mocked members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who are calling for his dismissal from the party because of his campaign for ‘balance, justice, fairness, and equity.’
According to Track News, those calling for his dismissal ironically left the party, undermining its electoral chances and causing it to lose the 2015 election.
Governor Wike delivered remarks at the inauguration of the Nkpolu-Oroworukwo flyover, the ninth built and completed by his administration.
On Thursday, Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, was inaugurated in Mile two Diobu, Port Harcourt.
“Those who are threatening me are the same people who destroyed the PDP and caused us to lose the election in 2015.” I stood firm in this party when it was about to die. Peter Obi, you were at the party at the time.
“I was the one who supported this party with my friends.” Those who left the party are coming to tell me that I want to scatter the party, even though you (they) scattered the party and caused us to lose the election in 2015. We are now in conflict. “Who put us up against each other?” Wike stated.
Governor Wike, on the other hand, reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP and to fighting those he described as vampires, armed robbers, and scavengers.
“I’m not going anywhere.” I’m going to stay here and fight the vampires, hyenas, and scavengers. I’m not going anywhere. I will never let armed robbers into my home. I’m staying to pursue the armed robbers, he vowed.
