Defection: You Are Politically Irrelevant, Wike Tells Ameachi

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that the jubilation by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Ameachi, over the defection of some members of the people Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) means he is politically irrelevant.

Wike made this claims in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri.

The APC in Rivers State on Sunday received some defectors from the PDP and the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Reacting to the defection, Governor Wike said, “Amaechi’s jubilation over the defection of his (Wike) former Commissioner of Urban and Rural Planning, Reason Onya, who was indicted by a judicial Commission of inquiry, is a pointer that he is politically irrelevant in Rivers State,” the statement read in part.
