The immediate past governor of Rivers State and Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, yesterday apologised to the people of Rivers State for choosing Governor Siminalayi Fubara as his successor.
Wike’s apology is coming as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that the members of the state House of Assembly who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) are mere ‘former members,’ and urged the APC and the affected legislators to forget any possibility of ever taking charge of the state, which the main opposition party said is now under its full control.
While the state police command has explained that it deployed policemen and Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to the residential quarters of members of the state House of Assembly in Port Harcourt to prevent a breakdown of law and order, a former National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has accused Wike of being the mastermind of the current charged political atmosphere in Rivers State
Wike made the apology at Ogu town in Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of the state during a thanksgiving ceremony held in honour of Senator George Sekibo, who celebrated 20 years of service at the National Assembly and 36 years of his life in public service.
In his remarks at the event, he appealed to the people of Ogun/Bolo LGA to forgive him, saying that people should be appreciative of those or whoever that is instrumental to their elevation.
