717

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to a statement credited to the River State Governor Nyesom Wike who claims that the APC was sponsoring some Presidential aspirants in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

APC reacted to the statement in a release signed by its Acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yekini Nabena.

Reacting further to Wike’s allegations, Nabena said, “It is understandable that the PDP in its despair over its failed 2019 election bid for the Presidency has resorted to comical conspiracies.”

The Acting Publicity Secretary stated further that, “Instead of putting its house in order, it is laughable that Governor Wike and his PDP cohorts are clutching on straws in their desperate bid to remain in public reckoning in the face of imminent 2019 defeat.”

The APC however insisted challenging Wike to name such sponsored aspirants.

“We challenge Governor Wike to be brave enough and name the APC-sponsored aspirants among the crowd that have signified interest to run for the Presidency under the PDP.

“We urge the PDP to quickly wake up to the reality that the 2019 presidential elections have been won and lost.

“PDP is a dead party and we urge its members who share our progressive ideals to leave the sinking and rudderless ship and come over to the APC which is rebuilding and repositioning the country in all facets,” he said.
