PDP, APC don’t exist in Rivers – Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the relevance of major political parties in Rivers State, insisting that both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) “don’t exist” in the state.

Wike made the remarks during a meeting at the Ikwerre Local Government Headquarters on Sunday, where he was welcomed with chants of “No Wike, no Rivers State.”

He told the gathering, “If you are pursuing Wike, you’ll miss the road. There is nothing like PDP or APC in Rivers State. Every week, I’ll be coming to Rivers State. Abuja is not my place; it’s where I work. I’ll be home every week.”

The FCT Minister also commented on Governor Seyi Makinde’s recent statement, noting that he would address the matter further in a scheduled meeting on Monday.
