Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to fight his party PDP, to stand still. Describes the People’s Democratic Party as “Corrupt”.
Before now, the party has set up a panel to resolve the Minority leadership crisis in the House of Representatives.
Wike made this statement following withdrawal of a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Austin Opara, from the panel.
The chairman of the panel is the former Senate President, Iyorcha Ayu.
Other members of the panel are former Senate Presidents, David Mark and Adolphus Wabara.
Wike applauded Opara for withdrawing from the panel and not allowing himself be entangled by what he termed as illegal activities.
He said, “The Committee set up by the PDP on the illegal emergence of Ndudi Elumelu is the most corrupt committee ever set up by the party.
“We thank our worthy son, Rt. Hon. Austin Opara, for withdrawing from that committee so that he is not entangled in the illegal activities of the tainted committee.”
The Governor warned the party not to toy with Rivers State as it is not in the interest of the party to do so.
He said: “We are warning PDP to be careful not to toy with Rivers State.
“Rivers State has all it takes to withstand the PDP and fight the party to a standstill.
“The Rivers State Governor is not one of those Governors that anyone can cajole.
“The Rivers State Governor is not one of those Governors that will kowtow to their illicit activities.”
