The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has no basis to criticize the actions of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, the PDP said the ruling party must bear the political consequences of its decisions in Rivers State.
The party stressed that Wike is no longer a PDP member, accusing the APC of deliberately engaging him for political gain and only raising concerns now that the alliance has turned contentious.
This is coming after a public exchange between Wike and the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, over political developments in Rivers State.
Wike clashed with Basiru after the APC scribe backed Rivers governor, Sim Fubara.
“The National Secretary of the APC may genuinely not know who is or is not a member of the PDP, and may therefore be relying on outdated information suggesting that Wike was a PDP member.
“Wike was expelled from the PDP, along with his supporters, and that is why we sympathise with the problem the APC has brought upon itself by engaging Wike; someone they now lack the moral or legal standing to disown.
“The law does not allow you to benefit from a wrong you created, nor can you complain of a voluntary injury. You cannot complain about an act you willingly undertook. So they should manage the situation they have created. After all, what was once seen as an asset has now become a liability, and they must deal with it,” the PDP said.
