In another news, President Muhammadu Buhari was asked to call to order APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and governors elected on the platform of the ruling party over their relationship with the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
The party stakeholders in a joint statement made available to Kpakpando on Monday said it is embarrassing that its leaders are rubbing shoulders with their opponent in the face of the 2023 general elections.
At a one-day consultive meeting held in South-South over the last weekend, the stakeholders comprising national assembly and state house of assembly candidates and other party faithful said it perceived as unfortunate that big wigs in the party, including Tinubu, came to Rivers to join Wike who is their clear opposition in the inauguration of state projects.
The development, according to them is simply glorifying Wike and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) camp and could be considered an anti-party activity.
They warned that these events are heaping praises on Wike ahead of the 2023 general election.
Presiding over the meeting held in Port Harcourt on Sunday evening, APC National Vice Chairman of the zone, Chief Victor Giadom, said Buhari must call the leaders to order immediately.
On his part, the state APC legal adviser, Dike Iheanyi Zubi said it was unfair for Governors of the South-West to hold nocturnal meetings with Wike and return back to their states without bothering to an interface or speak with their party members in the state.
Zubi further said the action of Tinubu who has held meetings with Wike abroad and the action of the governors concerned were tantamount to anti-party activities and called on Buhari to call them (Tinubu and the South-West governors) to order.
