Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is the only existing political party in the state because of its commitment to the rapid development of the state.
Speaking during the defection of former Commissioner of Education and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Chief Allwell Onyesoh, with thousands of his supporters at the PDP Secretariat in Port Harcourt weekend, Wike said that Rivers people are happy with the performance of the PDP over the years.
He said: “There is no other party in Rivers State. PDP is the only party as far as Rivers State is concerned.
“Except people who do not see and those who tell lies in this state, the only party that means well for Rivers State is the PDP.”
The governor said that the performance of the Rivers State PDP is beyond mere propaganda.
“This is the only party that keeps its promises. When we say a thing, we go all out to carry it out on behalf of the people,” he said.
He expressed happiness that Rivers leaders are returning to the PDP to promote the interest of the state.
He said: “Everybody has equal rights. Luckily congresses will soon start and everyone will participate. The new entrants will fill feel at home. The more the merrier.”
