2019: Wike, a dim-witted wishful thinker, APC says
The assertion of the Rivers State governor, Nyesome Wike that the PDP would win the entire South-South States in 2019 is not sitting well with the Rivers State Chapter of APC.
The party said that the statement by the governor is “dim-witted wishful thinking.”
Spokesman of the party in the state, Senibo Chris Finebone, said that “the APC is not surprised at such conceited and arrogant boast which confirms that the PDP as a party is populated by individuals who have no place for God in the affairs of men. Indeed, it is only God who can pronounce with finality what will happen in the future, no man can do that with any level of certainty.”
According to him, “For the PDP and its accidental leaders like Gov. Nyesom Wike, they have not learnt anything from their calamitous past and recent woeful defeat at the polls despite their earlier boasts that they would rule Nigeria for 60 years. It is possible that this kind of boasts by the present court-jesters of the PDP such as Nyesom Wike and Ayo Fayose are meant to hide their real intention which is to finally sing the Nunc Dimitis for the party on 21st of May in Port Harcourt.

He continued, that “Today, the PDP has many factions each equally battle ready going into its national convention. These factions assume two alignments namely, ‘the PDP indigenes’ and ‘PDP settlers.’ While the PDP indigenes are made up of the original founders and early joiners of the party, the PDP settlers are the likes of Governors Nyesom Wike and his bosom friend Ayo Fayose who accidentally find themselves in position of authority in the party and are making real dubious and mischievous use of their new-found positions.
“The Rivers State governor prefers to provide their followers with morose comic relief that the PDP will dominate the South-South in 2019. It is important to remind Gov. Wike that only the living praises Jehovah. Of concern to him should be how to help the PDP wriggle out of the present stifling stranglehold of indigene/settler conflict within the party before casting its sight on future Nigerian political turf.
