Prince Tonye Princewill, one of the gubernatorial aspirants in Rivers State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the Ward Congress held on Saturday by the State PDP exco.

Princewill who had earlier on Friday joined fourteen other aspirants in calling for the cancellation of the exercise alleged that the ward congress had been compromised in order to favour former Education Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Princewill, in a statement signed by his media aide, called on the National PDP executives to resolve the Rivers State issue before it gets out of hand and avoid anything that will distract President Goodluck Jonathan.

The statement reads: “The congress had already been done. The panel had already been settled and the electoral umpire had already been compromised. All their planning was in vain. For them the congress was just an opportunity for the masses to fight and destroy things. They do not care if Rivers people die as long as they win. We do. We care; and that’s why we stayed clear.

“The Rivers State Wike led PDP Exco, don’t realize we are several steps ahead of them; none of the key aspirants were involved in the congresses. That should be a signal for the party. Our silence will speak louder than our words. In the end, PDP will both sit up and address this sham or they will lose us and lose Rivers state. Nothing is impossible”.

“Our people say the difference between a small snake and a big worm is teeth. Neither Amaechi nor Wike will deliver Rivers state because even the grass will reject them. It’s time to start afresh. It’s time for renewal. And all of their money and more will never change that.” Princewill advised.
