A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has said embarrassing defeat stares the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, in the face if he ignores the demands of Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike and his camp.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, Princewill Dike, has said embarrassing defeat stares the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, in the face if he ignores the demands of Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, and his camp.
Dike blamed Atiku and the national party for mismanaging an internal crisis he said should have been nipped in the bud. Describing Wike as a force, a performer, and great mobiliser, he said the Rivers Governor remained the backbone of the PDP noting that any attempt to call his bluff would spell doom to the party’s moves to reclaim the centre.
Dike, a Port Harcourt-based lawyer, said the Rivers Governor was fighting for justice, inclusiveness and equity and had the sympathies of many of his colleagues, party leaders and many Nigerians. Dike, in a statement on Wednesday, said it was inconceivable that all key positions in the party such as the national chairmanship, presidential candidacy and chairmanship of the Board of Trustees are occupied by the north to the detriment of the south, which has sustained the party.
