Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has slammed his Zamfara State’s counterpart, Muhammad Matawalle, for dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC ) saying his integrity and credibility were at stake.
He said: “People must have respect for themselves. There are things I cannot do for the sake of my children. In 2019, Matawalle said I will never leave PDP.
“I will never disappoint PDP. If I disappoint PDP, I will never have peace in my life. Today, what has happened? Is everything politics? It is not true.
“Everything cannot be politics. Your credibility, your integrity is important in life. I will never betray my people.”
He said the preoccupation of any governor, who meant well for his state, should be the delivery of dividends of democracy to the citizenry and not to join the APC.
Wike spoke during the inauguration of the reconstructed Rumuigbo, Chief Johnson Amadi, Igbodo, Finima, Rumuopareli, Bauchi, Ohia and Isaac Boro streets in Old Government Residential Area (GRA), Port Harcourt.
The governor insisted that only spineless governors and politicians would succumb to threats and blackmail of the ruling APC to join the party or risk persecution.
