Those Saying I Want To Destroy PDP Over Presidential Ticket Loss Are Sick - Wike

 

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has lashed at those accusing him of trying to destroy the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over his failure to get the party's presidential ticket.

 

According him, people saying such a thing are sick.

 

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar had defeated Wike and other contestants at the presidential primaries of the party in May.

 

Peace talks were held between Atiku’s camp and that of Wike but no deal has been reached yet.

 

On Thursday the BoT chair of the party, Walid Jibrin, steeped down, a decision many attributed to the internal wrangling in the PDP.

 

But speaking at the Commissioning of the Ahoada Campus of the State University of Science on Thursday. Wike said, “Some of you don’t know what is happening. You are being deceived; they are telling you Wike is causing problem. Wike is not causing problem; Wike is bringing peace to the country. Wike is advocating for justice, Wike is advocating for equity, and Wike is advocating for fairness.
