Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike has rejected the offer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
leadership to intervene in the conflict with outgoing Bayelsa State Governor,
Seriake Dickson over the Soku Oil Wells/fields returned to Rivers State by the
Federal High Court.
Governor Wike, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, said
that there was no premise for the intervention by the PDP leadership, since the
Federal High Court had already determined the issue in question.
He said: “I don’t know why they
are interceding. They have no power to resolve the issue of Oil Wells.
Secondly, the matter has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
“Anybody who is not satisfied
should go on Appeal. Are they interceding on behalf of someone who betrayed the
party?
“They know that Governor Dickson
betrayed and sold out the party. They know that during the 2019 election in
Rivers State, what happened in the state. That Dickson worked with my opponent.
“Throughout that period, the
National Chairman himself knows, that people were calling from all over the
country to know the situation. Dickson never called one day.
“This was because of his
alignment with the opposition . I can show proof that Dickson had already made
up his mind to go over to APC.
“I am not going to sit down with
anybody to discuss anything as it relates to Governor Dickson. I have no
business with Governor Dickson.”
Governor Wike said that the right
thing for Dickson to do is to resign from the PDP, so that PDP leaders in
Bayelsa State can rebuild the party.
“In fact, Governor Dickson ought
to have resigned from the party by now. So that the leaders of PDP in Bayelsa
would rebuild the party.
“The National Leadership of the
party should know that the only option left for PDP to be strong in Bayelsa is
for Dickson to leave the party,” he said.
The Governor said that the
party’s intervention is no longer profitable in view of the incalculable damage
done by the Outgoing Bayelsa State Governor.
He said: “Where was the party
when Dickson sold out? Why couldn’t they come out to speak out? Governor Dickson,
you have killed our party in that State. What is anyone wading in for? I am not
going to be party to that and nobody will stop me .
“Nobody fights Rivers State and
gets any benefits out of it . I have said it severally. I am not here because
of my interest. I am here because of the interest of Rivers State.
“The party would have waded in
when they saw fraud. That Dickson was killing the party in Bayelsa State. He
has achieved his aim by making sure nobody comes after him as he leaves office
in February, 2020.
“Do you know the effect of APC
winning Bayelsa State? And they are talking of wading in.”
