APC can’t hold ordinary convention – Rivers Governor Wike mocks ruling party

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot hold an ordinary convention because it lacks internal democracy.

The Governor also lambasted critics of his projects describing them as paper tigers, who had no facts about his urban renewal programme.

Wike spoke during the inauguration of Orogbum Crescent (road) project in the New Government Reserved Area (GRA) Phase II, in Port Harcourt Local Government Area on Monday.

The Governor said the party’s lack of respect for internal democracy had made it difficult to organise a mere national convention.

Wike said the affairs of the APC were being decided by one man, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari was ordering the party around.
