The governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, criticised Uche Secodus on Saturday for congratulating Senator Iyorcha Ayu on receiving the National Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party’s vote of confidence.Information Guide Nigeria

The governor declared that no amount of a vote of confidence would prevent Ayu from losing her job.

Wike made this statement at a reception for over 90 people who joined the PDP after leaving other political parties on Saturday in Port Harcourt.

The governor claimed that Secondus appeared to have hastily forgotten that a vote of confidence in a sitting national chairman had previously resulted in his removal.

He said, “I was watching, listening. They say there is one man called Secondus. They say he was dancing and celebrating that NEC gave their person a vote of confidence. He forgets history.

“Ask him, the same NEC through Aliyu Babaginda, who moved a motion for vote of confidence supported by the same person, Ndude Elumelu. They gave him a vote of confidence. What happened? He left the office.

“We don’t fight and go back. If you like, you can have as many as 20 votes of confidence, it is not my business. My business and my team is to make sure the right thing is done.

“And the right thing must be done, whether today or tomorrow. So, let nobody worry him or herself. If you are dancing, come home and dance. Come and mobilise for the person you think will win the election.”

“We are here; I am here waiting for him. No more 419 in this game, no more 419 in this state. We have stopped all these 419 people. Enough is enough.

“You people should go home and rest. We know we are already waiting for the day set by INEC for them to blow the whistle. When they blow the whistle, we will know those who are in charge of Rivers State and those who are mere visitors to the state.

“You know we have those in Rivers State and those who come from Abuja. We stay here as those of us from Rivers State Monday to Sunday. Visitors come Friday and go back on Sunday,” he added.

Earlier, the state Chairman of the PDP, Desmond Akawor, said, “Your Excellency, what you are seeing here is just symbolic through the three senatorial districts, because this stage cannot contain all of them. From the various parties, they are still coming.JAMB Result
