Wike Receives knocks for ‘Deceiving’ PDP Govs

An aide to Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, of deceiving PDP governors.

In a statement, yesterday, Special Assistant to Atiku on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shaibu, said Wike’s vituperations and wailings had nothing to do with ensuring that the south produced the next president.

He described Wike as a loser who went on to deceive other members of the G-5 governors, now battling for political survival.

He said: “Wike’s grouse with Atiku Abubakar has nothing to do with zoning. He is only wailing because he lost the presidential ticket of the PDP in a fair contest. After losing, he deceived four other governors to join his futile campaign.

“Three governors of the G-5 failed woefully at their senatorial elections, including Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, who, as a sitting governor, came a distant third in the Abia South senatorial election. For Governor Seyi Makinde, his ambition is hanging by a thread, after his misadventure cost the PDP to lose all three senatorial elections.

“Wike has not held a single meeting with his G-5 members, having dumped them since their defeat. He has been rejoicing over the outcome of the polls, even though his men have all lost. This is the sort of man he is, and yet, he claims not to be committing anti-party infractions.”
