Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has claimed that administration’s giant strides have muted the All Progressive Congress (APC) and other political parties in the State.
Wike said that the “APC has again started making false promises”, ahead of the 2023 general election among which are to build a University of Transport, develop a deep-sea port and industrial park in the State.
The governor made this known during the reception put together by the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to welcome scores of APC members that decamped to the PDP.
Among the defectors were Henry Ogiri, former Director of Finance and Administration of the Niger Delta Development Commission; GloriaBoma, APC South-South administrative officer; Mr. Lolo Ibieneye, and Alhaji Hassan Douglas.
Wike said, “Are things better today? So why do you allow people to tell you lies? How long can you continue to listen to the lies of the All Progressives Congress? They have nothing for Nigerians. It is unfortunate that there was a conspiracy to remove a Niger Delta person as President.”
According to the governor, the APC had prior to 2015, promised to transform the country, fix the East-West Road, and provide good governance to Nigerians, but that the party has continued to give excuses for its failure.
