A close political ally of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Dr Prince Sudor Nwiyor, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers.
Nwiyor is director-general of the Wike Solidarity Movement (WSM), and current chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) at the Kenule Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori.
He was received into the APC on Wednesday by the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Pastor Tonye Cole, and prominent chieftains of the party in Rivers.
Speaking during the ceremony, Nwiyor, who was deputy director, Mobilisation in the Wike 2019 Campaign Council, said he resigned his membership of the PDP since August 12, 2022.
He stated that his decision to exit the PDP is as a result of poor reward system in the party and lack of even distribution of development across the state under the Wike-led administration.
Nwiyor revealed that PDP members in the state were tired and angry, and are ready to abandon the party because of the tribalistic nature of leadership of the party under the present administration.
The senior lecturer boasted that in the coming days, he will formally collapse the entire structure of Wike Solidarity Movement (WSM) across the state into the APC.
