Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike has revealed that more governors and top politicians will soon join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike said this in reaction to the defection of Senate President Bukola Saraki and Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed from the APC to the PDP.
“I salute the Senate President Bukola Saraki and Kwara State Governor for being bold to say that they will not be intimidated,” Wike told journalists on Tuesday at the Government House Port Harcourt.
I welcome them to the PDP which is being rebranded to take over the leadership of the country in 2019.
“More governors and senior politicians will still defect in the coming days. This regime of intimidation and harassment emboldens us. It strengthens us to stand against tyranny and impunity.
“It emboldens us to stand firm because of the interest of the people. We will resist any attempt to coerce us to cave in.
“Even under the Military, there has not been this nature of impunity. We are determined and we have made up our minds to rescue Nigeria.”
