PDP Leaders Disquietly Beg Wike Over His Resignation

  • PDP Leaders Disquietly Beg Wike Over His Resignation
  • There was panic in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over alleged threat by Governor Nyesom Wike to resign as the South-South coordinator for the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar.

    According to TheNation, the disquiet in the party was informed by the fact that Wike is central to PDP’s success in the South-South which the party had taken for granted as a stronghold.

    It was learnt that governors, ex-ministers and top leaders of the party have been begging the governor to rescind his decision.

    But indications showed that the governor was angry because he has been isolated in the scheme of things.

    Instead of being on the driver’s seat like the case before the National Convention, the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, and the National Working Committee (NWC) defer more to Atiku, the National Leader of the party, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and the Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson who was one of the arrowheads of Atiku’s victory at the party’s convention.

    It was learnt that unlike pre-convention era, the party leadership does not rely on Wike for funds any more.

    A top source said: “We were all shocked to read of his plans to quit as the South-South coordinator of PDP campaign for Atiku. All our leaders have been in panic since the news broke out. This development will be a setback if not quickly reversed.
