APC has no electoral value for 2019 elections, says Wike

The Rivers State governor, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has declared that the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state had no electoral value.

The governor alleged that the APC would depend on its planned reliance on the security agencies to rig elections in 2019 adding that the poor performance of the APC has totally devalued the party and that Nigerians had discovered that the APC was full of empty promises, with no accompanying implementation.

Commissioning the Igbogo road in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Tuesday, Governor Wike said: “Several promises, not one fulfilled. I have challenged the APC to come to Rivers State and say what they have done. If not for the dependence on security agencies for rigging of elections, no APC member will come forward to contest elections.”

The governor said that where democracy was practiced in line with the rule of law, PDP members would have gone to sleep, knowing they would walk over APC in 2019.

On developments in Rivers State, Governor Wike said while other states ended their democracy day on Monday, his administration would continue the commissioning of several projects in the coming weeks.

He said that for the people of Akpor Kingdom, the administration had executed projects in all the ten communities of the area and informed that the Rivers State Government would start to reach out to all supporters, which would be in form of direct empowerment.

Commissioner of Works, Mr. Iheanyichuwu Bathuel, said that the Igbogo road had revived the community, adding value to the residential houses in the area.

The Choba community, in appreciation of the new road, conferred a chieftaincy title on Governor Wike.
