The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has called on President, Muhammadu Buhari to call Presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and some party leaders to order over meetings with Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Dike Iheanyi Zubi, State legal Adviser of the party made the call in a statement yesterday.
He said it is discouraging that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and governors of the South-West are hobnobbing with Governor Nyesom Wike, who is seen as a contender with the party in the state.
According to him, the development undermines efforts of party members in Rivers state.
Part of the statement reads,
“It is very discouraging for the APC here in Rivers State to see a situation where the presidential candidate of our party, Ahmed Bola Tinubu and his handlers, including South-West Governors of the APC coming to the state to undermine our party here in Rivers State.
And they begin to hobnob and hold nocturnal meetings with Wike, who is seen as a contender with the APC here in the state.
So, we as APC members here frown at such action because it doesn’t encourage us here. We consider it as anti-party on the side of Ahmed Tinubu and his cohorts.
“Instead of coming to strengthen the Rivers State chapter of the party, they are busy hobnobbing with Governor Wike, who is a PDP member. For the APC in Rivers State, we see it as an affront and anti-party.
