Abaribe Reveals How Wike Lacks Integrity | WATCH VIDEO
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the senator representing Abia South senatorial district and the 2023 candidate of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for same district, has said that he has more integrity than Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Abaribe who appeared on Arise TV on Friday night, maintained that against Wike’s opinion of him, he has unquestionable character and has stood for the right things instead of succumbing to pressure.
According to Abaribe, he withdrawing from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of some actions which he was not comfortable with, shows that he has integrity against Wike who is aggrieved over party actions but has refused to leave the party, instead, he has resolved to pull the party down.
He denied collecting money from Governor Wike and chided him for publicly affirming that he tried to bribe him which is a crime and against his law profession.
“No he did not give me any money and I don’t remember anytime I sat with governor Wike to discuss leaving or not leaving PDP.
“If I was someone that could be bought, I could have been bought a long time ago in this APC government but I rejected everything just like I rejected every blandishment they were sending my way. I walked out to prove that it is possible for you to walk out without being inside a system and destroying that system”
Abaribe also stated that he resigned his position as the minority leader in the senate and leader of the PDP because he was disgusted with the happenings in PDP “and I decided that I will not stay there because I needed to prove that I can win election elsewhere.”
According to Abaribe, Wike is bothered because he lost the presidential primary election and has been impugning people’s character, trying to drag down his party.
“between me and governor Wike, who has integrity? Everyone one of us who felt we were not happy with what went on in PDP left, why didn’t Wike with al the gross he has, not walk away from PDP rather he wants to stay in PDP and destroy the party; who now has integrity between me and Wike? Abaribe queried.
