Saraki: Wike claims more APC governors, senior politicians will join PDP

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has congratulated Senate
President, Bukola Saraki and Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed
for their courage to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Saraki and Ahmed announced their decisions on Tuesday.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday at the Government House Port
Harcourt, Wike said the level of impunity under the APC Federal
Government, surpassed what was obtainable during the military
administration.

"I salute the Senate President Bukola Saraki and Kwara State Governor
for being bold to say that they will not be intimidated. 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," he said.
