ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has threatened to chase away from the party those who made the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lose the recent presidential election.
Wike said this at the launch of a road project in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State.
He attributed the PDP’s defeat in the recently held presidential election to those who, in his opinion, disobeyed the party’s Constitution.
Governor Wike pledged to eject them from the gathering and begin the party’s reconstruction.
The Governor described the move as the “second phase of the war.”
His words: “These people left our party in 2014-2015, our party lost; again they came back, our party has lost again.
“They have destroyed our party. We are going to chase them away from our party. They have no role to play for our party.”
Wike also slammed the leadership of the PDP for accusing the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of not following election guidelines when the PDP allegedly refused to follow the party’s constitution.
He further mocked the PDP leaders for staging the protest against INEC describing the party leaders as “students unions.”
