Wike mocks Atiku as PDP cancels presidential rally in Rivers, says Tinubu is Nigeria’s next president
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says he is not surprised that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council cancelled its rally in the state.
Wike stated that the Rivers PDP presidential campaign council’s decision was expected because none of the members had the political clout to mobilize a sizable number of supporters for the rally.
The governor addressed other political and development issues at a State PDP rally in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area on Monday.
He accused those in charge of his party’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar’s, campaign of lacking the political capacity to mobilize Rivers supporters.
For months, Wike and four other PDP governors in Nigeria’s southern region have demanded the resignation of PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu as a condition for supporting Atiku’s presidential bid in the February 25 election.
