The Rivers State PDP Campaign Council has warned the embattled factional governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Arch Tonye Cole and other APC aspirants dropped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state to face their problems with courage by clearing the mess they brought upon their party instead of blaming Gov Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for their woes.
Recall that the dropped APC aspirants had in a press conference on Thursday accused Gov Wike of colluding with INEC and meddling in the affairs of the APC. However, in a swift reaction, the Director of Information and Communications of the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council, Emma Okah said the aspirants are being haunted by their greed and inordinate ambition to reap where they did not sow in the APC. He denies that Gov Wike is colluding with INEC or meddling in the affairs of the APC
“These candidates are being clever by half. They are running and they know what is chasing them. They know what they did in the APC to give rise to what befell the party” Okah said, pointing out that they need to summon the courage to eat the sour food they cooked for themselves.
According to Okah, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has no hand in the self inflicted problem the APC brought upon itself through recurring acts of impunity, lack of respect for the judiciary, and want of internal democracy in their party. Wike is not a member of APC. He never asked the APC to disobey court order or refuse to resolve internal problems.
Going further, Okah said this latter day lamentation is understable and pathethic but can somebody tell them that those who play God dance the music the gods play for them and advised them to appease their party men and seek the face of God.
On the threat by these aspirants to disrupt the polls if they are not restored in the ballot, Okah said it would be a joke taken too far, describing them as unepentant products of lawlessness, impunity and disorder.
According to Okah, no amount of press conference or insults on Gov Wike by these aspirants will stop Gov Wike from reaping the fruit of support and solidarity which the people of Rivers State have placed at his disposal. The result will be a landslide victory in the forthcoming polls.
