Description

Abubakar, and the national leadership of his party, the most potent political godfather in Rivers state and governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, has let loose his political venom, and seriously segregated the party in Rivers and Cross River.

A week before the presidential election, Wike has made it impracticable for Abubakar to hold a presidential rally in Rivers state, where they have further isolated the party into Atiku and Wike divides. However, the presidential candidate of the rival All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Bola Tinubu, stormed the state, Wednesday, for his presidential campaign with Wike’s full good wishes.

Also intriguing is Cross River state, where a charging Wike has torn the two PDP political godfathers and former governors: Mr. Donald Duke and Senator Liyel Imoke, apart, and inadvertently created a political ambiance that could facilitate victory for the APC in the March 11 governorship polls.

In fact, it was a scandalous affair for the PDP when it held its presidential rally, Monday, in the state. The governorship candidate of the party in the state, Senator Sandy Onor, and Donald Duke, loyal to Wike, were nowhere to be found, while the state chairman, also a Wike ally, who showed up was disregarded.
