Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has blasted the former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, who was said to have danced after a vote of confidence was passed on the National chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party.
Speaking, during a reception to welcome decampees from various political parties into the PDP at Isaac Boro Park in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike said that the decision will not stop them from insisting that the right thing be done.
According to him, the prevailing structural imbalance within party must be addressed, adding that he does not fight and go back.
He said despite the heightening political aligning and negotiations that are going on, his administration has not abandoned governance in the State.
His statement reads,
“I was listening and watching, they said there is one man they call Secondus. They said he was dancing, celebrating that NEC gave their person vote of confidence. He forgets history. Ask him the same NEC through Aliyu Babangida moved a motion of vote of confidence supported by the same person, Ndudi Elumelu. They gave you (Secondus) a vote of confidence, what happened? You left office.
“We don’t fight and go back. If you like you can have as many 20 votes of confidence, it’s not my business. My business is to make sure the right thing is done, and the right thing must be done. Whether today or tomorrow.”
“I’m not going to play party with the interest of my people. Rivers State is paramount to me first before any other person or group.
So, the eyes can see what we have done. Up till today, we have never abandoned governance. So many people are already rounding up, taking the last they have but yet, we are still committed in commissioning, and flagging off projects.
Because of the love we have for our people, we will continue to serve you till May 29, when by the grace of God, Siminialaye Fubara will be inaugurated the governor of Rivers State.
