The Rivers State branch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) responded to Nyesom Wike’s assertion of aiding the APC in the 2023 election through a press statement, aiming to clarify the situation.

The Rivers APC stated that they possess evidence disproving Nyesom Wike’s claim of assisting the APC in the recent presidential election. They assert that Wike aligned with the APC after realizing his political career was at stake, seeking a refuge within the ruling party.

Furthermore, the Rivers APC emphasized that Nyesom Wike’s allegiance to the APC was primarily for personal comfort and to undermine the APC’s strength within Rivers State.

Regarding the last presidential election, the Rivers APC asserted that none of Nyesom Wike’s alleged PDP members collaborated with the APC. They pointed out that some secretly voted for the Labour Party, while others supported the PDP in their respective polling units. The Rivers APC concluded by stating that Wike’s claim of aiding the APC’s election victory lacks empirical evidence.
