‘You’re hypocrite’ – Labour Party tackles Wike for supporting Tinubu

The Labour Party, LP in Rivers State has tackled the Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, over rumours about his support for the presidential flagbearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Bola Tinubu.

This was revealed by the National Vice Chairman, South South, of the party, Favour Reuben, while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt, the capital of the state.

He revealed that the governor was selfish with his actions.

“We are hearing that our Governor (Wike, who few years back declared our state as a Christian State because he was running for election, has made a U-turn overnight and suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket because of his personal interest.

“The Wike we all know is not a coward that will surreptitiously ask his PDP followers to work for Tinubu of the APC without coming out openly, but if this is true, then we are in trouble and our PVCs should speak for us, being the only tool at our disposal to usher in a Government that will ameliorate our suffering, both at the State and Federal level.

“Secondly, our Governor (Wike) said APC is cancer, while PDP is malaria, so I will be expecting the Governor to look for the cure of these deadly diseases and the only cure is the Labour Party driven by Peter Gregory Obi, who has been tested and trusted in Governance.”

He charged the governor to make open declaration of support for his chosen presidential candidate.

“As a man, we know who Wike is. He should come out and tell Rivers people that the man we are supporting is Tinubu.

“He should not take it through the back door; we want him to come out openly.”
