The All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted claims made by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State that he is being pressured by the party to join them.
Governor Wike had in a statement few days ago, alleged that some leaders of the party are wooing him to dump the PDP for the APC.
The party through its caretaker secretary of the Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), John Akpanudoedehe slammed Wike over the allegations and accused him of trying to attract national attention.
Mr. John who challenged the governor to mention names of such leaders, advised him to come out clean if he really wants to join the ruling party.
“Who is putting pressure on him. I am not surprised what he (Wike) is doing. I have seen people like him, who hated APC in the past but today they are in APC having seen the light and the good thing the party is doing in re-positioning the country and making it work again after years of PDP misrule,” he said.
“He should come out clean and declare if he wants to join the moving train of APC and not that he is been pressurised or wooed to join,” Akpanudoedehe added.
