Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says his party, the People’s Democratic Party has wronged the state at different times despite giving the party its highest votes since 1999.
Wike, in a statement while reacting to the defection of prominent members of the party to the ruling All Progressives Congress on Wednesday, said despite all that the state cannot dump the party for any other party.
He said the state has remained committed to the ideals of the party which he described as the last hope of Nigerians.
The governor, who also noted that defection is part of a democratic process, opined that those who left the PDP for the APC lack integrity.
“PDP has done a lot of wrong things to Rivers state, but I cannot say we will leave PDP. We will be there and fight the war. The interest of Rivers state will be fought inside PDP, we will not leave anywhere,” he said.
“Even if the whole States abandon PDP, Rivers State will not abandon PDP because we are people of integrity, we are people of character. Anybody who does not have integrity, who does not have character cannot say he is from Rivers State,” he added.
