Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has vowed to resign if his predecessor and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, can point to any federal project he has attracted to the state since 2015.
The Governor made the threat on Saturday when he received some politicians in the state who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Those who defected include two former chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers, Dr. Davies Ikanya and Igo Aguma.
Wike also accused Amaechi of failing to account for some state funds and resources during his tenure as the Rivers State governor.

He however said during his own tenure as a federal Minister of State for Education during the tenure of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, he attracted many projects to Rivers State.
He, therefore, challenged the Minister to emulate him and bring federal attention to the plight of the state which will, in turn, result in the creation of job opportunities for indigenes and residents of Rivers.
Other APC chieftains who defected to PDP were Chief Ogbogbo Nnamdi, Isobo Jack, former caretaker chairman; Paul Nwankwoala, former APC legal adviser; Faaye Franklin, Chief Andy Nweye and Alamese Martins-Yellow, Ilamabo Mirila, Dr. More Oja-Chinda, Benibo Anabraraba, Alphine Whyte, and Wisdom Wakama.
