The Rivers State Labour Party, LP, has criticized Governor Nyesom Wike over speculations about his support for All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.
Favour Reuben, National Vice Chairman, South South, Labour Party, said during a press conference in Port Harcourt on Tuesday that Wike’s actions and decisions were motivated by self-interest.
Reuben stated that Governor Wike, who previously compared the APC to cancer and the PDP to malaria, should have looked for the cure to these deadly diseases, who he claims is Peter Obi.
While speaking in a press conference, Reuben says that
“We are hearing that our Governor (Wike, who few years back declared our state as a Christian State because he was running for election, has made a U-turn overnight and suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket because of his personal interest.
“The Wike we all know is not a coward that will surreptitiously ask his PDP followers to work for Tinubu of the APC without coming out openly, but if this is true, then we are in trouble and our PVCs should speak for us, being the only tool at our disposal to usher in a Government that will ameliorate our suffering, both at the State and Federal level.
“Secondly, our Governor (Wike) said APC is cancer, while PDP is malaria, so I will be expecting the Governor to look for the cure of these deadly diseases and the only cure is the Labour Party driven by Peter Gregory Obi, who has been tested and trusted in Governance.”
