Rivers State Government had denied reports in the
social media that the state Governor, Nyesom Wike, insulted the leadership of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday by
the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim,
noted that the authors of the ‘fake news’ quoted the governor as saying that
PDP has gone totally insane.
“Those who are close to the governor know that he
has very high regards for the leadership of the PDP, and as an accomplished
legal practitioner, he will never use such an uncouth language to talk about a
party he has laboured selflessly to build,” he said.
Nsirim stated that Wike never berated the PDP for
staging a protest against the Supreme Court judgement that ousted Hon. Emeka
Ihedioha from office as Imo State governor.
According to him, “It is laughable that mischief
makers think they can use fake news to whittle down the rising political
profile of Wike.
“We make bold to say that Wike remains a strong
pillar, committed and loyal party man, who should not be associated with a call
to sack the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus.
“This is the handiwork of moles within the party
who will stop at nothing to discredit a man who has given his all to a party he
loves so dearly.”
He, therefore, urged members of the public to
disregard the ‘fake news’ circulating in the social media, “because it has no
iota of truth in it.”
