I’ll Never Leave PDP, Rivers Governor Wike Insists as Manipulated Video Goes Viral

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has condemned a purported manipulated video circulating on social media that he has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following his defeat at the PDP special convention in Abuja.
Reacting to this in a statement by his Special Assistant Media, Kelvin Ebiri, Governor Wike insisted that he would never abandoned his party over circumstances.
The governor who noted that PDP led him to his present political position, urged that the public to disregard the rumour of him defecting to APC.
“Our attention has been drawn to a manipulated video circulating on Social Media, purporting that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike intends to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“It will be recalled that in June 2021, Governor Wike was  interviewed on ARISE Television, following the defection of Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress.
“During the interview, Governor Wike while reacting to reasons given by Ebonyi State governor for his defection, dismissed it as untenable.
“The excerpt of the interview in circulation has been deliberately manipulated by some desperate and unscrupulous persons  with obnoxious agenda.
“The intent of the video being circulated is to mislead the unsuspecting public, particularly members of the PDP.
We, hereby urge the public to disregard the manipulated video.
“Governor Wike has repeatedly maintained that he will never under any circumstances defect from the PDP, which has offered him the platform to excel in his political career.
“We urge the public to ignore the distorted video. Those behind it are desperately wicked and intend to mislead the public. Governor Wike remains a faithful, committed member of the PDP and will never leave it for cancerous APC.”
