Rivers APC Spokesman Decamps To  PDP

The Rivers State APC spokesman, Chris Finebone, has decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Finebone met with the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike behind closed doors on Thursday night before he confirmed his defection.

Finebone confirmed his defection to journalists in Port Harcourt.

He was known for constant criticism of the Rivers State government before his defection.

He recently criticised the state government for the outbreak of measles in some Rivers communities in Abua Odual Local Government Area of the State.

Finebone is from Opobo Local Government where the governorship candidate of the PDP hails from.

During the meeting on Thursday night, Gov. Wike promised to award the contract for the construction of Opobo Ring Road before he leaves office in 2023.

“I will award the contract for the Opobo Ring Road and ensure that the money to pay is made available before I leave office in May, 2023.

“It is God that has made your son to be the governorship candidate of our Party.

"The same God will make him win to His glory.

"I did not plan it but God did it. Opobo people should be thanking God for his mercies."
