'Beware of Wike, reject him – Rivers APC writes open letter to Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has called on President Bola Tinubu to allow persons it described as being meddlesome to help former Governor Nyesom Wike to hijack the party in the state.

The ruling party has expressed fear that recognizing and acknowledging the efforts of Wike will work against the party as well as undermine the loyalty of staunch members.

This was made known in an open letter to the President by Rivers APC publicity secretary, Comrade Darlington Nwauju.

Mr. Nwauju called on the President to reject Wike and warned that he should beware of him and his allies, also alleging that the ex-governor aims at controlling the party’s structures in the state.

In the letter, the leadership of Rivers APC alleged that Wike had been brutal to the party and its members in the past.

The letter read in part: “We wish to clear the air that Gov Wike did not deliver any value to our dear Rivers State APC.

“Mr President Sir, we wish to recall that the 2015 presidential election melted unquantifiable brutality on members and families of APC in Rivers State with countless casualties.

Yet the Rivers APC resisted the onslaught of former Governor Wike’s lead aggression on innocent party followers and members.

“Dear Mr President, we wish to clear the air that Gov Wike did not deliver any value to our dear Rivers State APC; rather, he fought against our dear Rivers APC.”
