Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has likened the All Progressives Congress (APC) to cancer and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to malaria.
He says he can never leave the littles problems in PDP to join the APC that is so cancerous with its myriad of problems.
Speaking with BBC News Pidgin when he was asked if he will ever defect from the opposition PDP, Wike said, “Defect to where ? I am suffering from malaria, would I be looking for cancer ?
“I cannot leave an ailment that is easy to treat and go in search of cancer, do you want me to die immediately ? Why are you speaking like this ?” He asked the BBC interviewer.
“Come to think of it, which party are you suggesting ? APC that has destroyed Nigeria ? Let me tell you, every fight I have to fight, I stay in PDP and slug it out. If they hurt me, so be be it, if I hurt them, so be it also.”
Speaking further, the Governor said he is sure he cannot imagine being as injured as anyone in the APC.
