Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has pledged to drive out the Presidential nominee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, as well as the PDP’s National Chairperson, Iyorchia Ayu, and several other party leaders.
Gov. Wike made the pledge during the commissioning of a road project in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State on Thursday.
Wike blamed the PDP’s loss in the just-concluded presidential election on people he said refused to obey the PDP Constitution.
He vowed to kick them out of the party and begin the rebuilding process.
The governor described the move as the “second phase of war.”
According to him: “These people left our party in 2014-2015, our party lost; again they came back, our party has lost again.
“They have destroyed our party. We are going to chase them away from our party. They have no role to play for our party.”
Wike also chastised the leadership of PDP for blaming the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission of failing to follow election guidelines when they (the PDP) reportedly refused to follow the party’s constitution.
He further slammed the PDP leaders for staging the protest against INEC, describing the party leaders as “students unions.”
