Another PDP Governor ‘Dumps’ Party To Ruling APC

Another PDP Governor is set to dump the party for ruling APC, Wike says.

 

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday said another governor, elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

 

This online news medium understands that Wike disclose this when he appeared on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program on Wednesday.

Speaking during the Politics Today, Wike said,  “I can tell you there is one PDP governor that will leave. He is not leaving because of anything but he will come up with an excuse.

 

“The point is that these are the people who have been playing anti-party, who have been romancing with the APC in the night and coming to the PDP in the daytime. My problem with our party is that when you speak the truth, they will want to crucify you. I have raised this issue several times.”

 

 

Wike further stated that Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State had always been disloyal to the PDP.

 

According to him, during a particular virtual meeting of PDP governors, Umahi boasted that he helped President Muhammadu Buhari to garner votes in the 2019 presidential election.

 

“All of us are aware that Governor Umahi has been romancing with APC for long. We had a virtual meeting of PDP governors. I have never seen that in my life.

 

“Governor Umahi in that meeting, to the surprise of many governors, said ‘there is nothing anybody can do to stop me’. I promised President Buhari I would give him 35 per cent votes’.

“I never knew that people never voted in Ebonyi; that votes were allocated and Governor Umahi determined who gets what percentage”, he said.
