President-elect Bola Tinubu To Visit Gov. Nyseom Wike In Rivers

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has distanced itself from Bola Tinubu’s scheduled visit to the region on May 3.

Tuesday, May 2, was designated as a public holiday in the state by Nyesom Wike, the governor, so that Tinubu could get a hearty greeting from the populace.

APC in the state spokesperson Darlington Nwauju described the visit as private and at Governor Wike’s invitation in a statement on Tuesday, May 2. He further clarified that the visit was unrelated to the APC in the state.

“We challenge the Governor being an outgoing governor (Mr Wike) to play less divisive politics and exercise restraint in planting seeds of discord amongst opposition political parties.

We are aware that the governor has been working so hard to paint a false perception of the collapse of the APC structure in Rivers State even when he had in previous well-documented interviews vowed never to have anything to do with a “cancer party (APC),” Nwauju said

Governor Wike who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), fell out with leaders of his party and has been very cordial with Tinubu.
