‘Nobody Should Have To Threaten Anyone Just For Personal Gain’: Wike Speaks On Umahi’s Defection

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, had been making threats long before his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, Umahi had long been dinning with the APC, and his defection was based on selfish reasons.

Wike said this in an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, when asked if the PDP is willing to make adjustments regarding claims that there were better opportunities for consultations in the APC.

“Assuming the party even wants to do that, I will not be a party to it.

“Nobody threatens anybody just because you want to gain something. Which means he has been working with the APC,” Wike said.
