Cross River PDP Would’ve Died if.. – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has said that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Cross River would have died naturally if they succumbed to intimidation from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop their rally in the state.

Wike, who spoke at the flag-off of campaigns of Ogoja l/Yala Federal Constituency and Akpabuyo State Constituency bye-elections at the Calabar Sports Club on Saturday, said it was shameful for anyone to use security operatives to try to intimidate members of the PDP to stop a rally for ordinary federal and state constituency bye-elections,

According to the governor: ”Why on earth will they try to stop an ordinary rally if they have done well, this is just bye-elections for federal and state constituency, what if it was the governorship, what would they have done?

“If they had succeeded in stopping us from holding the rally, that would have been the end of the party in Cross River, but we are very resilient people.”

He urged the people not to be afraid, adding that the ruling party tried to intimidate the people of Rivers State “but we resisted them.”
