A Pro-Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) group on Monday took the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike to the cleaners over his comments that the presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar did not consult him before appointing members from Rivers State into his campaign council.
The group under the aegis of PDP Young Stakeholders, Lagos branch said governor Wike’s claim lacked the merit of truthfulness.
Reacting to Wike’s claim, in a statement by its leader, Dr Tai Oyekan, the group said that Governor Wike can be likened to a prodigal son, who took his inheritance in annoyance.
The PDP Group said: “To put the records straight, and which can be corroborated by every stakeholder in the party, that the PDP and its presidential candidate consulted all governors and leaders in each state before nominating members into the presidential campaign council.
“Whereas all state governors made nominations into the council, it was only in Rivers State that the governor refused to forward his nominations into the council. It was therefore upon the refusal of the governor that the PDP and its presidential candidate went ahead by their own discretion to make nominations into the council.
