By Ogochukwu Anioke, Abakaliki

The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ebonyi has slammed Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike for his outburst against Governor David Umahi’s defection suit.

The APC on Sunday described the Rivers Governor’s statement as reckless and an affront on the Judiciary.

Chairman of Ebonyi APC, Stanley Okoro-emegha stated this in a statement on Sunday.

He was reacting to media reports credited to Wike who was quoted as saying he was one of the forces behind the ruling of an Abuja High Court, which ordered for the sack of Umahi and his deputy, Kelechi Igwe from office for defecting to APC from the People’s Democratic Party(PDP).
