Wike in Big Trouble As APC Levels Huge Allegations Against Him
According to Legitng, The Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has been accused of being dishonest in his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari over the delay in signing the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law. "The allegation was laid against Wike by the chairman-elect of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, Emeka Bekee."
"Legitng/ PM News reports that Bekee while speaking at a press briefing on Sunday, December 19, alleged that Governor Wike had threatened to file a suit against President Buhari should he sign the bill into law."
Bekee said Wike's threat followed the passing of the bill by lawmakers of the National Assembly
"He said: “That was even before the bill was submitted to President Buhari for assent."
Bekee however, said he was shocked that in less than three weeks, the governor has made a 360-degree u-turn on the issue and has become an advocate of the passage of the bill.
According to Legitng, Channels Television had reported that Wike had said that President Buhari had no reason whatsoever not to assent to the bill.
"He called on all political stakeholders to prevail on the president to ensure that he signs the Electoral Act Amendement Bill into law."
He added: “Governor Wike is diminishing the character and stature of Rivers people before Nigerians. We are not unstable, deceitful and duplicitous people. Far from it!”
