THE WIKE PROBLEM IN THE PDP – THISDAYLIVE

e to both his defeat in the Peoples Democratic Party presidential primaries and the refusal of the winner, Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president of Nigeria, to pick him as the running mate, Ruben Abati, celebrated columnist, said the governor’s reaction had become a problem that the party must solve.

In his post-defeat speech to his supporters in Port-Harcourt, he complained that he was betrayed by his fellow southern governors with whom he had an agreement to swing the presidency southward. He was more pained by the action of Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State, who practically decided the contest by stepping down for Atiku on the convention ground.

Secondus made efforts to stabilise the party even as Wike’s conduct of ridding roughshod over everyone was becoming unbearable and a source of constant embarrassment to the party leadership. Not a few of his brother governors complained about his overbearing attitude and meddlesomeness with a couple of them claiming to have left the party on that account. Next, the Rivers State governor began to nurse presidential ambition and his kinsman’s chairmanship was no longer tenable.

Rather than beat a retreat and do a sober review of the tactical situation, Wike carried on tactlessly, believing that his deep pocket would give him victory in a party where all the major stakeholders were already fed up with his uncouth manner. He was clearly bound to lose because his southern base was not only thoroughly divided but many of his brother governors were also working for his main opponent, Atiku.

High tension is working here,he is more stronger then the opposition,why not concentrate on how to fight APC and other parties instead of WIKE! PDP is touched!

It's not an entitlement mentality. It's a feeling of betrayal of party constitution and agreements and arrangements by the atiku camp and the chairman of pdp
