APC asks Governor Wike to return N2b he donates to PDP

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state is currently entangled in a N2 billion scandal as revealed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The party is asking the governor to immediately retrieve and return the sum of N2 billion of Rivers money he allegedly donated to the Ondo state branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the electioneering.

The demand came from the APC publicity secretary in the state, Senibo Chris Finebone, on Sunday, November27 while he was addressing supporters of his party in Port Harcourt shortly after the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Chief Rotimi Akeredolu of the APC as the winner of the 2016 Ondo governorship election.

“It is unfortunate that Governor Nyesom Wike is still playing Father Christmas with the commonwealth of Rivers people for his personal egoistic political voyage despite that the governor has cancelled hundreds of overseas scholarships and the students repatriated home among other important programmes.

"The various fish farms at Buguma, Andoni and other places that provided jobs for thousands of Rivers people are now history.

“It saddens the heart that our governor prefers to neglect important matters calling for attention at home but rather lavish our commonwealth on his personal political pursuits.

"Can you imagine that Gov. Nyesom Wike willingly donated a whopping N2bn to the Ondo State chapter of the PDP? It is horrible, mind-boggling and indefensible.

“Just like in the case of Edo, the PDP has lost and the governor should not wait to be reminded to return the N2bn back to the treasury of Rivers State immediately," Finebone demanded.

The APC spokesperson lambasted the governor for wasting the resources of the people on matters concerning the PDP rather than concentrate on frugally applying the state’s resources to the needs of the state.

“Whereas the PDP has states like Akwa Ibom and Delta that collect high monthly federal allocations, it is only Gov. Wike that plays the party’s godfather.

"He has profligately donated billions of Naira belonging to Rivers people to faraway Bayelsa, Edo and Ondo PDP chapters for purposes of elections while medical workers, pensioners and teachers are owed back home.

“Is it that Rivers State has been conquered by a small band of buccaneers led by Gov Wike and genuine elders are keeping quiet?” Finebone queried while warning that if the governor did not return the N2 billion, he would be forced to do so at the appropriate time.
