APC slams Wike over Tinubu’s visit to Rivers
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has dissociated itself from the visit of President-elect Bola Tinubu to the state on Wednesday.
Tinubu was invited to Rivers State for a two-day visit to commission some projects.
However, in a statement on Tuesday, APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, said the party had nothing to do with Tinubu’s visit.
The spokesperson told the governor “to play less divisive politics and exercise restraint in planting seeds of discord amongst opposition political parties”.
Nwauju accused Wike of working to paint a false perception of the collapse of the APC structure in Rivers despite his boast “in previous well-documented interviews”.
He said the governor wants the President-elect to believe “his false narrative that there is no other opposition political party existing” in the state.
Nwauju added that the APC is “focused on pursuing justice by challenging the outcome of the flawed March 18 elections at the Elections Petitions Tribunal”.
Wike has declared Wednesday a public holiday and urged the people to come out in large numbers to give Tinubu a rousing welcome.
