The All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that the party did not receive N2 billion from the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, to work for the victory of its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
There were reports earlier in the state that Governor Wike had released over N2 billion to enable the APC to organise the presidential campaign in the state and work for electoral success.
A member of the Presidential Campaign Council and Independent Campaign Council of the APC, Chief Tony Okocha, had on Thursday, noted that the party got human and other resources from Wike, adding that the contributions aided the victory of the party at the presidential poll.
But, speaking in Port Harcourt Friday, members of the APC, who also are members of the PCC/ICC, under the platform of Tinubu/Shetima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council, TSG, said the APC did not receive any cash from the state governor.
The leader of the Grassroots ICC, Augustine Wokocha, said Tony Okocha only spoke for himself, adding that the APC and people of the state worked in the interest of the candidate, adding that the victory could not be appropriated to any individual.
Wokocha noted that the of Bola Tinubu was a natural cause of the event following his pragmatism, stating that the credit for the victory of Tinubu belonged to the APC and the people of Rivers State who voted for the APC at the polls.
