In the wake of the crisis bedeviling the People Democratic Party PDP, the South-South Zonal Organizing Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Blessing Agbomhere has warned some national leaders of the party to be careful of hobnobbing with Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
According to him, the manner in which some chieftains of the All Progressive Congress APC are parleying with the PDP leaders in South South zone is worrisome.
He added that the rate in which APC chieftains to commission projects by Wike is dangerous l for the expected victory of PDP at the national level during the upcoming general elections.
Agbomhere noted that the influx of APC chieftains into Rivers State are killing the morale of PDP members in the state
Agbomhere said: “We want to call on the National leadership of the APC to urgently call some party chieftains who are now flocking to Rivers State and maintaining unholy alliances with Governor Nyesom Wike in the name of commissioning projects, to order.
“While there is nothing wrong with inviting a highly placed personality to commission unfinished projects, but everything is wrong if such uncompleted projects are being used as campaign stunts ahead of crucial national elections at hand.
“By identifying with an opposition party at this time, such leaders are indirectly de-marketing our great party especially in a state controlled by the opposition PDP.
“It is unfortunate that the influx of such APC chieftains into the State has proved highly discouraging to members of the Rivers State chapter of the APC who are striving and strategizing daily on how to win positions in the state during the forthcoming general elections.”
Agbomhere said “the earlier this unholy pilgrimage of highly revered party stalwarts to Rivers state is nipped in the bud by the National Leadership of the party, the better for APC’s chances in the forthcoming elections in the State.”
He said APC chieftains cannot afford to promote the policies and projects of an opposition ruling party in a State on the one hand and expect to win elections in that state as an opposition party.
“As a result of our performance, if Governor Wike wants to join the party, he must come in through the front door. We will receive him and save him from those he claimed want to destroy his political future,” he said.
