Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike alleged on Tuesday that a ‘rapist’ who is a member of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Rivers joined former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to receive Senator Ibrahim Shekarau back into the party.
Atiku led PDP members to receive the Senator representing Kano Central from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP into the main opposition party at a well attended event in Kano city on Monday.
Wike had before now accused some PDP leaders in Rivers of abandoning the state while following Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the party across the country.
Wike said, “I was watching television yesterday (Monday) when they went to Kano to receive Shekarau. I saw one rapist from Rivers State sitting at the back where he went to join them to receive Shekarau but I asked him; ‘How many people have you made to join your party in your state?’
“You have gone to receive somebody somewhere but you have not made efforts to receive other people to join your own party in your state. You like when food is ready, you’ll go but for you to cook, it is where people have cooked that you go to eat the food but you won’t cook your own,” he said.
