Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has advised President Bola Tinubu to be weary of some ‘unrepentant PDP praise singers’ who are now trying to get closer to him.
Some chieftains of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) including former Minister of Transportation and leader of the Rivers chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Abiye Sekibo, former PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Celestine Omehia and former lawmaker, Austin Opara had on Thursday pledged loyalty to President Tinubu.
They also condemned the direction of events unfolding in Rivers state, asking the President to caution ex-Governor Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
At a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Chairman of Rivers APC, Tony Okocha, pointed out that it was laughable that people like Sekibo and Secondus, who once described the president with unprintable names in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election could be paying lip service to warm their way into his heart.
Okocha warned Tinubu that they are ‘unrepentant PDP praise singers’ who can never forgive him and Wike following the manner they made Atiku lose the last election.
“The undeniable fact remains that all those who lined up at that table are still ardent believers of Atiku Abubakar and lucidly introduced themselves as unrepentant leaders of Atiku’s 2023 Presidential Campaign in Rivers State.
“Even the flex banner behind the table they sat still carried the picture and name of Atiku Abubakar. It was deliberate and intentional.
“These persons can never forgive Tinubu, Wike and APC Rivers over the sin of their woeful electoral defeat. Of course, it follows therefore that anyone whose action or inaction contributed to their dangerous fall is inadvertently their sworn enemy.
“No wonder they are surreptitiously targeting to cut out a pound of flesh from the minister of the FCT.
“No sane host tolerates a guest who attempts to enter his house through the window when the door is open. We vehemently reject it.
“Nigerians know the scenarios that played out uniquely in five PDP-controlled states in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election and the aftermaths.
“This assembly of protesters did not only vehemently carry out excruciating campaigns against Asiwaju, they trumped up and funded hate speeches against Asiwaju.
“They promoted the devilish narratives that Tinubu was frail, extremely old, and incapable of presiding over Nigeria, mentally senile, defecates on himself, and so, wears diapers.”
