Defection: APC will soon unleash the EFCC, on Tambuwal- Gov. Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Wednesday predicted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, would come after the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal’s following his defection from the ruling party.

Addressing the press at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Wike  revealed that APC would unleash the Economic Financial Crimes and Commission, EFCC, on Tambuwal soon, following his defection.

Gov. Wike lauded Tambuwal for doing the right thing, describing his defection as a victory for democracy.

He said, “There are some people who have said that we cannot continue to live in a world of intimidation. We cannot continue to live in a world of harassment.

“Every right thinking Nigerian should come together to see that something is done to salvage the country.

“I am aware that with what he has done today, the next line of action, the APC Federal Government will unleash the EFCC on the Sokoto State governor and his government.”

“Nigerians should not be swayed by claims that the APC leaders are not worried about Tambuwal’s defection. Recall that Tambuwal as speaker of the House of Representatives led the formation of the coalition that prompted the victory of the APC in 2015,” Wike added.

Governor Wike had earlier congratulated the Senate President, Saraki, and Gov. Ahmed of Kwara, for their courage to defect to the PDP, noting that more defections were coming.
