The Director General of Wike Solidarity Movement, Prince Sudor Nwiyor has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
His action is coming at a time there are speculations that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike may soon dump the PDP for the APC.
Wike reportedly met with Tinubu on a possible alliance for the coming general election recently.
It is not clear yet if Nwiyor’s defection is part of the alleged move by Wike to join the ruling APC.
However, announcing his resignation in Port Harcourt, Nwiyor said part of his decision was the poor treatment meted out to PDP leaders in the 23 local government areas of Rivers State.
Nwiyor said: “My decision stems from the faulty regime in the PDP where those who have worked for the party are dumped and abandoned, while monies are given to newcomers to entice them to the party.
“The entire leaders in the 23 local government areas of the state have had no appointment, they have been asking what is in for them, I have not been able to proffer any answer.
“This informed my decision or move to the APC. I will collapse all the WSM structures to the APC.”
