The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, slammed ex-governor Nyesom Wike for trying to control the structures of the PDP and the APC in the state.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Austin Okpara has slammed former governor Nyesom Wike.

He was reacting to the success of the conduct of the October 5, 2024, local government election in the state.

According to him, this is an indication that the indigenes of the state were tired of oppression.

Okpara stated this on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.

The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, lashed out at Wike for trying to control the structures of the PDP and the APC in the state.

He commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara for defying all odds to hold the local government election in the state despite the withdrawal of the PDP and the APC.

“What it portends is that Rivers people are tired of oppression, Rivers people are tired of emperorship, Rivers people are tired of dictatorship.

“The difference now is that we have a governor who wants to serve and not be served; not a governor who Adolf Hitler is his mentor or Donald Trump.

“Rivers people feel liberated; Rivers people are happy, they came out in their numbers to vote and they are excited,” he said.
