Former gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, has lamented that the state has consistently been in the news for the wrong reasons.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday night, Cole, who expressed concern over what he described as persistent political confusion in the state, decried what he called the “chaotic” state of politics in Rivers.
The former gubernatorial candidate described it as a muddle of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC.
According to him, no one knows whether the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, belongs to the PDP or APC, fueling more political confusion in the South-south state.
He said: “Rivers State always seems to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons. I’ve said this over and over again, and one of the things that concern me most is that we continue to use Rivers State as an experiment of any type of politics.
“We don’t know which party is in existence in Rivers State. Is it the PDP or the APC? Or is it a mixture of both. You know, everything just seems wrong.
“And so one of the things that we are very concerned about is that we must establish good governance and the rule of law in Rivers State for anything to begin to work.
“As a gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State, I remain the leader of APC in Rivers State. Now that depends on what the President says, because we don’t know where Wike is.
“I have no idea whether it’s in PDP, whether it’s in APC, or whether it’s a mixture of both.
“There’s that faction of it, but then there is an APC in Rivers State that continues to be legitimate, of which I lead. And I continue to lead that APC faction in Rivers State, and we’ll continue doing that.”
