Nyesom Wike has urged APC leaders to accept the clear fact that their political party will not be contesting in Rivers State this year.
This is a reaction from Nyesom after the ruling party accused PDP of mocking it over the decision.
Nyesom Wike begged the leaders to stick with the Supreme Court’s judgement as ee it as the will of God because no one can bring a dead horse back to life.
His words, “Truth be told, the Supreme Court has spoken. Independent National Electoral Commission has confirmed. It is the will of God and there is nothing anybody can do to return the APC to the ballot for the 2019 general elections in Rivers State.
“But this, I believe, is not the end of life for the APC in Rivers State. There is always another day and as political leaders, we must have the courage to accept the reality, know when to stop fighting for nothing and tell our followers the simple truth, even if it may sound bitter.
“I would, therefore, advice my brothers in the APC to endeavour to put their house in order, allow the prevailing peace to continue and prepare for 2023.
“Let me assure everyone that the collective interest of our state will continue to guide our actions and we shall continue to accommodate everybody irrespective of party affiliation in our schemes of governance.”
