Another PDP Governor Will Leave The Party, Says Wike
NOVEMBER 19, 2020
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, suggested that one more governor will leave the party following the defection of the Ebonyi State Governor to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I can tell you, there is one PDP governor that will leave,” he said Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Governor Wike, however, declined to give the name of the governor or when he will leave the party.
Just like Umahi, he expects the governor to “come up with another excuse” when giving reasons for his defections.

“The point is that these are the people who have been playing anti-party (politics). They will be romancing with the APC in the night and coming out to PDP in the day time,” he said.
“My problem with our party is that when you speak the truth, they want to crucify you. I have raised this issue severally and severally and severally.”
Umahi’s defection has cut down the number of governors the party has in the South-East to two (Abia and Enugu). The APC controls Imo and now Ebonyi, while APGA holds sway in Anambra.
Wike however downplayed the impact of Umahi’s defection on future elections, citing the 2019 victories PDP recorded over incumbent APC governors in Bauchi and Adamawa.
