You Talk Better Than You Campaign – APC Bombs Gov. Wike

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State has lambasted Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for accusing it of plotting to rig the forthcoming State Governorship election.

Naija News reports that the Rivers State Governor had accused the APC of planning to postpone and rig the election.

Reacting to Wike’s claim, the Chairman, Edo State Media Campaign Council of the APC governorship election, Mr John Mayaki, asked the governor to focus on governing his state.

According to Mayaki, “Gov Wike, like his counterpart in Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki, should focus on the claims against him of an alleged violation of human rights.”

“I do not know if Mr Wike manufactures these tales himself or if he has a team of lazy children’s books writers who manufacture these claims. I am torn between answering him seriously or stepping down to match his humour,” he said.

“To start with, let him provide proof for anything he said. He cannot. How does the party that is not in power plan to use the police in Edo state? He meant to accuse us but ended up insulting the Nigeria Police Force. I think they need to address the disrespectful and sickening way he spoke about them. This is not the first time that the governor has demonstrated pedestrian restrain in his words.”

Speaking further, Mayaki pointed out that “the inane speculation cannot hold water, as we stand to gain no further advantage should Mr Obaseki leave the office.

“Already, the state is against the man; you can tell from how there are more chickens in a poor farmer’s poultry than there were people at the PDP rally in Edo North. The sun has gone down on his government and the moon has refused to shine. These puerile narratives containing negligible fabrications cannot save their campaign.”

“In fact, going by the dramatic way Mr Wike has conducted himself, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown, would it be incorrect to point out that Mr Wike talks shop better than he campaigns? He definitely does it better than he governs. He needs to know that their focus now should be fabricating a manifesto that can win them at least a third of the votes in Edo state. Our SIMPLE agenda will definitely get us all of the votes otherwise.”
