A day after promising to hit back at the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for taking over the lawsuits instituted by the state chapter of the party,
IN what appeared to be an apparent attempt to keep to his words, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has called for a protest vote against the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, at the national level.Wike’s call comes a day after he vowed
to hit back at the National Working Committee of the PDP for taking over the lawsuits instituted by the state chapter of the party.
The Rivers State Governor, who spoke at the state PDP campaign in the Ahoada West Local Government Area of the state, urged the people to use their Permanent Voter Cards to “pepper” the National Secretariat for abandoning them during the 2022 flooding that ravaged the local government areas in the oil-rich state.
He recalled how some PDP members visited other states to sympathise with them over the flooding but shunned the people of Rivers.
“You had a major flooding problem. Did anybody at the national secretariat of our party visit you? But they went to the other states. We will love who loves us, and hate who who hates us.”
“We will use our power to pepper them.
“The only people you are voting for are the governorship, the senatorial, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly Candidates,” he said.
