The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Rivers State has warned Governor Nyesom Wike to play less divisive politics and “exercise restraint in planting seeds of discord amongst opposition political parties”.
The party while reacting to the proposed visit of the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu to the state today, said the visit is a private one, on the invitation of Governor Wike.
The Spokesperson of APC in the state, Darlington Nwauju, said the visit has nothing to do with the state chapter of the party.
“We challenge the Governor being an outgoing governor (Mr Wike) to play less divisive politics and exercise restraint in planting seeds of discord amongst opposition political parties”, he said.
Nwauju further stated that, “We are aware that the governor has been working so hard to paint a false perception of the collapse of the APC structure in Rivers State even when he had in previous well-documented interviews vowed never to have anything to do with a “cancer party (APC).”
Mr Tinubu is expected to pay a two-day visit to the state to commission a flyover and a court building constructed by Governor Wike’s administration.
Mr Wike has declared Wednesday as a public holiday, urging the people of the state to turn out en masse to receive Mr Tinubu.
