The immediate past spokesperson of the umbrella party stated that Wike is politically savvy and would not form an alliance that will affect the fortune of the leading opposition.

He gave the assurance on Wednesday, August 17, when he appeared on Arise TV's morning show.

The PDP leader added that the party was making serious efforts to put its house in order and resolve its internal crisis.

Commenting on recent meetings of Wike with members of the opposition, Ologbondiyan said the governor is freed to associate with politicians in other camps.

“I know it and I believe that Governor Nyesom Wike is savvier politically to go and put the life of his own political machinery into an arrangement that will stop its candidates from winning elections. I know he will not do a thing like that and I am very confident about that,” he said.
