Wike is APC’s mole, not one of us, says Rivers PDP factional chair

Robinson Ewor, factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state, says Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), is working to destroy the opposition from within.

Ewor said Wike should no longer be considered a member of the PDP, having openly pledged loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He spoke on Monday during an interview on ‘The Morning Show,’ a programme aired by Arise Television.

“I have said it in different fora, and I will repeat it here: Nyesom Wike, FCT minister, is no longer a member of the PDP,” he said.

“Nyesom Wike today exists in PDP because he’s on a mission to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition in the country, not just Rivers state.”

Ewor accused Wike of interfering in PDP leadership decisions while serving in an APC-led federal government.

“That is why today he is insisting that Sam Anyanwu remains national secretary. What is his business? You are serving an APC government,” he said.

“You have pledged your loyalty to the APC. You have said it openly and publicly that you will support the APC in the 2027 general election.”

He said Wike has no business meddling in PDP matters, describing his continued presence in the party as a calculated ploy.

“In good conscience, let’s leave the law and everybody. In good conscience, can Nigerians still see Wike as a member of the PDP? The answer is no,” Ewor said.

“To us in Rivers, Wike is no longer a member of the PDP. He’s only here to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition.

“And the president is helping him. That is the irony of it. The president is funding Wike to destroy the opposition.”

On Friday, Wike said he wanted the outright removal of Siminalayi Fubara as governor of Rivers state.

“As a politician, I am not happy about the state of emergency in Rivers state,” Wike said.

“I wanted the outright removal of Governor Fubara. The president, by declaring a state of emergency, saved Fubara.”
