APC Support Groups Slam Gov’s’ Forum For Backing Tinubu Without Consultation

A former governor of Rivers Nyesom Wike hasaccused his successor Siminalayi Fubara of sponsoring the Action Peoples Party (APP) in the just-ended local government election in the oil-rich state.

Governor Fubara had days ago sworn in local government chairpersons in Rivers State. APP won 22 of the 23 chairmanship positions in the election. The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State also attended the event.

In the lead-up to the poll, Fubara who is a member of the PDP said he is the “greatest loser” since his party was not on the ballot.

But Wike who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) claims Fubara sponsored the APP for the election.

“Today, people say ‘Discipline Wike, he did anti-party’. I did not do anti-party; I said we must stand for equity, fairness, and justice’,” he said on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sunday Politics about his support of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 election.

“Today, what happened? The governor [Fubara] is the one who sponsored the APP. The chairman of the [PDP] governors’ forum was the one who attended the swearing-in”.

‘No Regret At All’

Wike was the Rivers State governor under the PDP from 2015 to 2023. He contested the party’s presidential primary but lost to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

He accused the party of injustice, insisting that the PDP should zone its presidential ticket to the southern part of the country and not leave it open for people like Atiku to contest.

Efforts to reconcile Atiku and Wike failed. That led the FCT minister to work for Tinubu of the APC, resulting in the PDP’s loss in the presidential election in Rivers State. The president thereafter appointed him as a minister.

Although they have been clamour for Wike’s suspension from the PDP, the minister insisted that he did not violate the party’s laws and does not regret backing the APC.

“I have no regret at all,” Wike said when asked about his support for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
