16 Aspirants Threaten To Protest As APC Celebrates Emergence Of Wike by cidieschat(m): 9:49am On Dec 10, 2014 |
The 16 Rivers state PDP governorship aspirants who boycotted the party primary have vowed to cast protest vote against the PDP in the 2015 general elections. The aspirants also expressed shock that all their agitations to get the attention of the National leadership of the PDP to wade into the “perceived injustice” in the state fell on deaf ears. At a media briefing held in Port Harcourt, one of the aspirants, Gabriel Pidomson said “since they refused to listen to us, we will show them with our votes, our oil and gas.” Another aspirant who is the former Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Prof. Don Baridam lamented the kind of politics being played in Nigeria. Prof. Baridam said, “there is no democracy in Nigeria. There is nothing like democracy. A situation where one man drafts a list in his house and it is used to win election for him is unfortunate.” Similarly, a son of the oil magnate in Rivers state, Dumo Lulu-Briggs said it was unfortunate for anyone to think that a primary election held in Rivers state. Meanwhile, former Minister of state for Education, Nyesom Wike who clinched the PDP governorship ticket has extended a hand of fellowship to the other aspirants.

I have forgiven them all. I apologise to all those that I may have offended. I beg them in the name of God, let’s come together and build Rivers state.” In the meantime, the PDP Chairman in Rivers state, Felix Obuah has congratulated Wike and hoped that his emergence as the party flagbearer will mark the end of the reign of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Meanwhile, the APC in Rivers state have celebrated the emergence of Wike as the PDP flagbearer. Publicity Secretary of the party, Chris Finebone said, ” we are happy that Wike has finally emerged. “With his emergence, our job is half done. We will trounce Nyesom Wike at the poll. dailypost.ng/2014/12/09/rivers-2015-16-aspirants-threaten-protest-apc-celebrates-emergence-wike/ |

Love him or hate him Wike is a dirty fighter and this is grandstanding by APC. Am sure they've secretly resigned themselves to losing Rivers. |
