Governor Anti Atiku-Sen. Meaba
By News Editor
Rivers State governor, Nyesome Wike has defended his reasons for inviting members of the opposition political party, APC Governors to commission projects in Rivers state.
Governor Wike who
spoke during the commissioning of the Ogbunuabali Eastern Bypass dualized road in Port Harcourt on Tuesday explained why he invited APC the governors.
He said he wants them to come and see what he has done and take the message back home.
In Gov Wike’s words: “Nobody can stop me from bringing people from other walks of life to see what we have been able to do, and what we are doing in Rivers state.
“Yesterday, the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sawolu was here. Today the former Governor of Sokoto was here, on Thursday the Speaker of the House of Representatives will be here to commission the assembly residence.
“Go and see the wonders that God helped us to do.
“Whether you are in Labour Party, APC or PDP, it is to invite you to come and see, and then go back home and compare”.
Wike’s defence came after a former Rivers South East senator, Lee Meaba described his action as anti-party activities.
Why PDP frowns at Wike: Sen. Meaba wondered why Governor Wike in the middle of campaigns is promoting allies of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, instead of the PDP presidential candidate.
Meaba to Wike: “If we see anybody who wants to stop us from producing the next government at the centre, then the person needs to know what he is fighting for.
“If you stop us from working for Atiku, that is anti-party to the highest level, I stand to be corrected.
“In the middle of our campaign, you line up Tinubu’s men, why do you line up Tinubu’s men, in the middle of our campaign, you are highlighting APC and Tinubu above our own candidate”.
The real tea: Wike has been upset at the PDP since he was denied the running mate ticket for Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.
