Video: Angry Wike turns against PDP, urges Aluu to vote out Jonathan Nyesom Wike’s directive to vote out PDP is commendable – Rivers APC The statement made by the former junior Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike has thrown many Nigerians into confusion judging from the way he had defended the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the years. While being conferred a chieftaincy title in Aluu community, Wike had told the people of Aluu to get their voters cards and vote out President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP in 2015. He said “I want to appeal to all of you from Aluu community [Rivers State] that the only way that you can show that you are angry; the only way that you can show that you are not happy is to do what Prof. Achinewhu said by making sure you get your voter’s card. Don’t insult anybody; don’t be like a mad man who would go from one radio to the other and abuse your mother and your father. The only thing you should do is to keep your voter’s card and come 2015, you show your anger that with this my voter’s card, I must make sure that PDP does not rule Rivers State and Nigeria.” Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress (APC) thanked Brr. Wike for his statement, adding that the party empathized with his frustration after he was denied the gubernatorial ticket, wondering why he didn’t see it coming. APC said “It is with heart full of joy that the All Progressives Congress [APC], Rivers State chapter, most unreservedly thank Barr. Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, the junior Minister for Education for passionately, clearly, unequivocally and undeniably pleading that the people of Aluu and, by implication, all Rivers people should vote out the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in the 2015 general elections. “For us in APC, his call is not surprising following recent heightened determination by the Ijaws of Rivers State to deny him the gubernatorial ticket of the PDP in the 2015 elections. We only view the junior Minister’s present quandary, frustration and devastation with profound empathy. We are really worried that he could not see it coming given that a governor ofIkwerre extraction shall have ruled Rivers State for 8 years by May, 2015.” APC said that Wike has spoken reason for once and Rivers people have no choice than to hearken to his plea.
