"Conversely, every single one of the key players on the other side including Atiku, Tambuwal, and Saraki betrayed GEJ in 2015.
"Karma is a b*tch."

Recall that Governor Nyesom Wike and his cohorts recently pulled out of the presidential campaign council of the PDP following the continuous call for the resignation of Senator Iyorchia Ayu as the national chairman of the party.

Ayu on the other hand has received the backing of the national working committee (NWC) and the national executive council (NEC) of the PDP to remain as the chairman of the party.
