ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says he would no longer accept northern dominance in the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Wike stated this on Wednesday night, while hosting PDP candidates and local government party chairmen from Cross River State at his residence in Port Harcourt.
During the meeting, Wike donated 25 buses to support the party’s campaigns.
He maintained that no one could convince him to drop his advocacy for internal democracy in the party.
Wike further rejected the current formation of the party where the National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu; Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and Director General of the Presidential Campaign, Aminu Tambuwal; are all from the northern part of the country.
The Governor, however promised to support the Cross River PDP, even as he encouraged the candidates to be deliberate about winning the elections.
