Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has reacted to the defection of Akpo Bomba Yeeh, the African Action Alliance, ACC, Deputy Governorship candidate to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
We had reported that Akpo Bomba Yeeh announced his resignation from the AAC and defection to the Peoples Democratic Party.
In

informed by the alleged hijack of the party’s structure by the All
Progressives Congress in the State.

receiving Yeeh at the Government House Port Harcourt on Monday said
history will be kind to him for placing Rivers interest above personal
consideration.

Candidate alongside PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, Rivers
State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah, Former Rivers State Governor, Sir

”History
will be on your side. You have shown that the interest of the state is
above personal consideration. God will not only protect you, But He will
also reward you for this decision.
”All of us must work together in order to forge ahead. No one man’s interest is bigger than that of the State.
”You

the end has come.”
