As far as Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike is concerned, the recent gale of defections that hit the All Progressives Congress (APC) was due to failures of the Federal Government.
He declared the APC-led Federal Government runs on vindictiveness, intimidation and illegality, whilst denying Nigerians the dividends of democracy.
Addressing reporters after projects inspection yesterday in Port Harcourt, Wike stated that more high profile defections are in the offing across the country.
He inspected dualisation of the Elelenwo-Akpajo Road, the construction of Judges Quarters in Port Harcourt and the ongoing construction of Mile One Market.
The governor said: “Politics is all about alignments and re-alignments. We expected these defections, knowing that the ruling party at the national level has completely failed the people.
“It is not hidden that even when they had majority in the two chambers of the National Assembly, they never had it easy because their representatives knew the APC has nothing to offer the people.”
Wike said that the PDP is working round the clock with all stakeholders to put an end the APC Federal Government in 2019.
