Governor Nyesom Wike has again dispelled speculations that he is gearing to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike at the 114th Quarterly General Meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt, on Monday, said he remains an unrepentant member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite being impressed by APC”s support for the power shift.
He told the Rivers monarchs, “I am not a member of APC and will not be. But, they have made me recognise that they are the heroes of this country. APC governors came out to say for the unity of this country, the presidency should go to the south.
“They said they want the unity of this country and therefore, the presidency should go to the south. They could have as well said no, it doesn’t matter. As governors, we have the number. We can still say it should remain where it should remain. But they didn’t do that.”
