Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, says governors who defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress from the Peoples Democratic Party have no conscience.
Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle on Tuesday dumped the PDP for APC.
Wike, who spoke at the inauguration of Woji-Aleto-Alesa-Refinery Road and bridge on Tuesday, said those defecting from PDP after riding on the back of the party to power have shown that they are treacherous.
The Rivers governor noted that it is ludicrous and hypocritical of the APC to demonise the PDP and then still turn around to poach members of the same party.
“People who could not win ordinary election. The party used technicality and went to court and got victory. Now, they say they are leaving the party. Hopeless, shameless human beings. People who have no conscience,” Wike said.
He accused the APC-led government of blackmailing and coercing some PDP governors and members to join the ruling party, stressing that no amount of blackmail or intimidation will make him leave the PDP.
“Bring everything you have against me, I will not join you. Rivers State will not join you. Even if it is only Rivers State in this country, we will continue to be Peoples Democratic Party,” he said.
