Wike, at the Rivers PDP's special dedication service at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Port Harcourt on Sunday, December 11, stated that those speaking against the APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket should not justify any plot to retain the presidency in the north.

The Rivers governor in a statement sighted by journalists noted that the same persons who blow hot and cold are only insulting the sensibility of Nigerians.
