With the trouncing of Peoples Democratic
Party [PDP] in the governorship election in Ondo State Saturday, the Rivers
State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, is asking the governor Nyesom
Wike to immediately retrieve and return the sum of N2bn of Rivers money he
donated to the Ondo State branch of the PDP.
Making the demand Sunday afternoon was
the Rivers State Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, Senibo
Chris Finebone while addressing APC supporters 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 Gov. Nyesom Wike is still playing
Father Christmaswith 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. Agriculture is in its worst state since Rivers State was created.
Songhai Farm is gone; the Banana Farm at Tai is gone; RSSDA is now a ghost of
its former self with the staff owed 17 months salaries. 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
