Rivers State Governor Wike has said the resignation of former minister of health and member of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP, Professor Alphonsus Nwosu from the party was in further support of the G5 governors’ demand for equity, fairness and justice.
He warned that if the party remained unyielding in zoning the office of the national chairman to the South, it should be willing to face the repercussion.
Wike spoke yesterday when stakeholders of Ogu/Bolo local government area of the state paid him a solidarity visit at Government House, Port Harcourt.
The governor stated that he had continued to challenge the party to the fact that everybody is equal in the country with nobody being a second class citizen.
Wike said: “I have continued to challenge them. What is the problem? What are we fighting for? What I said and will continue to say is that all of us are from this country, nobody is a second class citizen.
“We agreed that this is how our party will be. Recently, Prof. A.B.C Nwosu resigned from the party saying his conscience would not allow him, that the constitution of the party is clear, if you take this, these other people will take that. Why now are we saying that we won’t do it again?
