Legit.ng gathered that D*ke hails from the same community as his former principal, Ameachi.
During the time of Ameachi as governor of Rivers state, D*ke was appointed as the special assistant to the governor on student affairs.
D*ke, while expressing his grievances, said he had no choice but to pitch a tent with Amaechi’s bitter rival, Governor Nyesom Wike due to the fact that the APC has refused to heed to reasoning.
He said:
“A political party is a vehicle for political power. When I observed that Rivers APC is heading for the precipice, I began lamenting. Alas, they tagged me a prophet of doom, as did Jeremiah by the Israelites.
“I didn’t stop at lamenting. But also proffered solutions on how to stir the ship away from the cliff but it was also ignored by the party. My advice was not heeded. So, why should I continue to be in a party that is apparently set for destruction and have my political destiny wasted?”
Amaechi's ally hails Wike
Reflecting on Governor Nyesom Wike influencing his decision, the former Amaechi's ally said the incumbent governor has performed beyond measurable doubts.
He hailed Wike's infrastructural projects stating that the governor is worthy of emulation.
He said:
“So we need to join hands with the dynamic Governor to bring a successor that can continue from where he stopped the good work”.

However, there are indications that the governor's moves are informed by the relationship of some politicians in the state with Atiku Abubakar.
