The All Progressives Congress (APC), has refuted a claim by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Recall that Governor Wike had days back claimed that the APC had been pressuring him to join the ruling party.
Refuting Governor Wike’s claim, Secretary of the APC’s caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), John Akpanudoedehe, asked the governor to name those pressuring him to join the APC.
The party chieftain accused the Rivers state governor of making false claims to attract national attention.
He said the ruling party does not pressure or coerce anyone to join its ranks.
Akpanudoedehe said: “Please ask him (Wike) to name his suitors. Who is putting pressure on him. I am not surprised what he (Wike) is doing. I have seen people like him, who hated APC in the past but today they are in APC having seen the light and the good thing the party is doing in re-positioning the country and making it work again after years of PDP misrule.”
Further, the party chieftain urged Wike to declare if he wants to join the APC instead of insulting the party.
He said: “Tell Wike, he cannot attain national popularity by attacking or insulting the APC and its leaders. He should come out clean and declare if he wants to join the moving train of APC and not that he is been pressurised or wooed to join.”
