Nyesom Wike said Prince Uche Secondus is not a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and therefore, cannot speak either for or interfere in the affairs of the party.
Secondus, who was the immediate past national chairman of PDP, while alluding to governor Wike, was reported in the media to have said that no one person has powers to impose a presidential candidate on Rivers electorate.
The Rivers State Governor said Secondus was a meddlesome interloper because he had been expelled as a member of PDP by his ward in Andoni, an action that was affirmed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The governor spoke at the inauguration of Aluu- Omagwa Link Road that was held at Omuagubia playground by Cross Junction, Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area on Saturday.
“I read the newspaper this morning where a former member of our party, one Uche Secondus said that no one man can impose a presidential candidate on Rivers people.
“He is not a member of our party. His ward expelled him from the party. The court confirmed it. He went to Court of Appeal, he lost. He went to Supreme Court, the matter is coming up on October 23, 2023.”
Governor Wike continued, “I told him, you will not be national chairman to conduct the convention. Did he conduct it? Was he at the national convention? Up until now, you are not a member of our party.
“And in any case, I never said I was going to impose my candidate on Rivers people. I said I was going to tell Rivers people who I am going to support. Who I am going to campaign for.
“But don’t blame them, when you didn’t finish secondary school, you will not understand the grammar.”
Governor Wike emphasized that, in any case, Rivers people will listen to him more than Secondus because they can trust him as a leader who will continue to defend the interest of the State.
“So, Mr. Secondus, I have no problem with you being a technical adviser to Atiku. But don’t speak on behalf of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State because you are not a member of our party.”
Governor Wike asserted that it is not surprising that Secondus, beclouded by his half education, preferred a poorly educated candidate, Senator Lee Maeba, to have emerged as Senator over Senator Magnus Abe, a more educated Rivers son.
The governor recalled how Secondus and his cohorts, now christened Abuja Rivers politicians, had always tried to circumvent his political intentions but failed.
The governor said he has no apology for unsettling the so-called Abuja politicians when the party structure was taken over by him in 2013 while beating them into joining with him because there was no other choice left for them.
