The APC in the press statement stated that the
fasting and prayer program which is to will commence on 25th March, 2014
and ends on 1st April, 2014 at the APC State Secretariat old GRA Port
Harcourt during the normal period of the weekly prayer and thanksgiving
of APC Women.
Evangelist Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya the Interim State Chairman of APC, Evangelist Mrs. Carol Nagbo the APC State Women Leader and other great men and women of God will be conducting the programme.
The APC statement signed by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, SSA Media and Public Affairs to the Interim State Chairman, APC Rivers State read thus:
”We have read with profound gratitude reports of the adoption by the leadership of the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, of Chief Nyesome Wike, the Supervising Minister of Education, as the party’s candidate for the 2015 gubernatorial election in the State. We are aware of the opposition of some camps in the disunited party to the choice of Wike and it is our prayer for these dissenters to sheathe their sword and support Wike’s candidature if they are really interested in saving Rivers State from the diabolical influence of PDP come 2015.
The PDP, however said the part has not endorsed anybody as its governorship candidate saying its gratifying that the APC could not hide its understandable fears for the possible emergence of a better and suitable candidate like Chief Nyesom Wike.
So rather than deceiving the public on the obvious motive for the prayer declaration, the APC should come out plainly and inform the potential prayer “warriors” of threat such candidature poses to the APC candidate to avoid praying amiss. (Naij)

APC
while stating that at the appropriate time the right candidate will be
elected went on further to reveal why the prayers and fasting is needed:
The fact remains that Chief Wike, who has spearheaded PDP-led
Federal Government’s onslaught against Rivers State, has lost political
value in the State. Most of the people that made him tick politically
have since deserted him to APC while some hungry loafers are massaging
his ego just to enable them have a meal at his expense.
Apart from Wike’s political baggage, another major factor counting against him is that he comes from the Ikwerre axis where the current Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, also comes from.
With Governor Amaechi spending eight years as Executive Governor of Rivers State by 2015, it will amount to political slavery of other sections of Rivers State to allow another Ikwerre man to be elected Governor come 2015 and as a just political party we will not allow such blunder to happen no matter the odds.
Meanwhile the PDP has reacted to this
development in a statement signed by Jerry Needam SA, on Media to State
PDP Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah: ”such action by the
APC is not only a waste of time and our People’s resources, but
apparently, a blasphemy and sacrilegious as the APC has never shown any
disposition to the things of the Most High God, but has over the period
exhibited high rate of recklessness, violence, insensitivity to the
plights of the people, misappropriation of public funds and peddling of
lies and blackmails.’Apart from Wike’s political baggage, another major factor counting against him is that he comes from the Ikwerre axis where the current Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, also comes from.
