PDP troubled over Wike’s romance with APC, Umahi, Obi, others
Meanwhile, there is uneasy calm in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the romance of Governor Wike with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP).
Wike’s hope to become the running mate of the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was dashed on June 16 when the latter picked Delta state Governor Ifeanyi Okowa against the recommendation of the party’s advisory council on the running mate selection.
Since losing out in the vice presidential race, politicians from other parties have been wooing the Rivers state governor.
