L-R (Governor Dave Umahi and
Governor Nyesom Wike)

 

 

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Wednesday
challenged his Ebonyi State counterpart Dave Umahi, to a debate
over the reasons he gave for defecting from the Peoples Democratic
Party to the All Progressives Congress.

Wike threw the challenge during his appearance on Politics
Today, a day after Umahi confirmed his much-speculated
defection.

The Rivers State governor was unhappy with the actions of Umahi
in the build-up to his defections and his claims that there is
injustice in the PDP and more opportunities for consultations in
the APC among other things.

Asked if the PDP is willing to make some adjustments to allow
room for better consultations, Wike ruled himself out of such a
move insisting that no such problem exists in the party.

“Let me tell you one thing, assuming the party even wants to do
that, I won’t be a party to it. Nobody threatens anybody because
you want to get something,” he said.

Wike Slams Umahi, Says Nobody Should Have To Threaten Anyone
Just For Personal Gain

According to him, Umahi’s comment means he has been working with
the APC.

“If he has not been working with the APC, how will he know there
is more room for consultation in APC than in PDP? The point remains
that Umahi knows and I challenge him to a debate and I will tell
him I am not saying that he shouldn’t be a president. Nobody is God
to say who will be President and who will not be President. It is
God. “But the point everybody is making is ‘when did you consult
Ohanaeze Ndigbo?’ ‘When did you consult the leadership of the
South-East Peoples Democratic Party?”.

“This so-called injustice you are talking about; you were
chairman of the party under PDP – there was no injustice. You were
deputy governor under the party – there was no injustice. You were
governor for four years before, there was no injustice.

“Now you are a second-term governor, you are realizing there is
injustice for the presidency. Has PDP come out to say we are zoning
Presidency to A or B for you now to say, ‘Yes, having done this
against my people I will go here because these people have zoned it
to us. Since they have zoned it to us, I will move to that place
(party) because I am a man that wants to fight for my people. So,
on what basis can you now say there is injustice?”.
