Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has said that vote of confidence from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Executive Council (NEC) cannot save the party National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
Wike said this while receiving defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state on Saturday.
He also took a swipe at the PDP former National Chairman, Uche Secondus, challenging him to come and mobilise support for the party ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Recall that Secondus was sacked from the position by a Federal High Court in August 2021.
“I was listening, watching, they said there is one man they call Secondus. They said he was dancing, celebrating that NEC gave their person vote of confidence.
“Secondus forgets history that the same NEC through Aliyu Babangida who moved a motion for vote of confidence supported by the same person – Ndudi Elumelu. They gave him vote of confidence, what happened? He left office.

“We don’t fight and go back. If you like, you can have as many votes of confidence, it is not my business; my business is to make sure the right thing is done and the right thing must be done whether today or tomorrow.
“So, let nobody worry himself. If you are dancing, come home and dance, come and mobilise for the party you think that will win election. I am here waiting for him. No more 419 in this game. Enough is enough.
“We are only waiting for INEC to blow the whistle. When they blow the whistle, we will know those who are in charge of Rivers State and those who are mere visitors to the state,” the governor said.
