The Rivers State Governor believes that Ize-Iyamu, who, according to him, is being tried by one of the anti-graft agencies, should not be enjoying the presidential support.

“The main agenda of Mr President is to fight corruption, how can he support the APC candidate that his own agency has charged for corruption ?” He tweeted.

“Except they are saying he was charged because he was in PDP and his sins have been wiped away because he is now in APC,” he added.
