'Why Do You Continue To Listen To APC's Lies?' - Wike

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, quizzes why people "continue to listen to the lies of the APC".

His question was posed during the reception of defectors from the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

He accused the APC of failing to deliver on its promises made before ascending to power, rather, he said, they made excuses.

He asked, “Are things better today? So, why do you allow people to tell you lies? How long can you continue to listen to the lies of the APC?"

He continued by asserting that the party had done "nothing for Nigerians", and alleged that there was a "conspiracy" to ensure that a "Niger Delta person was removed as president.

He said, "They have nothing for Nigerians. It is unfortunate that there was a conspiracy to remove a Niger Delta person as President.”

Speaking on the Bonny-Bodo road project, he said that the Federal Government commissioned N120 billion but has failed to provide its "counterpart funding".

Wike said, “Look at since they started the Bonny- Bodo road, what has happened? As we speak, Federal Government has not released their counterpart funding for that road.

"Now, NLNG said let us do it and then deduct it from the tax we are going to pay to the federal government. Is it how they have been doing in other states?”
