Recall that the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, had declared the seats of about 25 lawmakers loyal to Wike vacant.
Amid the political crisis rocking the state, the governor insisted that the defection of the lawmakers led by Amaewhule Martins from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) remained illegal.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the Executive Director of the group accused Wike of being a saboteur working against the party.
According to him, Wike, once a prominent member of our party played a pivotal role in this monumental loss. His actions have cost us dearly, and we cannot remain silent.
“To the extent that he has weakened the party for the APC, we can no longer consider him a member of our party. He is already enjoying the 30 pieces of silver he sold the PDP for.
“Let this be a stern message to all who would put their ambitions above the party’s well-being and future. We cannot afford to lose more lawmakers or members in other states, especially when the stakes are now so high ahead of the next general elections.”
