Wike reveals how President Buhari defeated Atiku in 2019
Wike had alleged that some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) assisted President Muhammadu Buhari to be re-elected in 2019 by negotiating with him.
The Rivers state governor stated this on Tuesday, September 6, during the commissioning of the Rivers State University’s campus in Etche.
Governor Wike, who did not name the PDP members, said they approached him to join in the negotiation but he stood his ground to deliver Rivers state for the PDP.
Wike stated further that no amount of intimidation would cow him into supporting a cause that is not beneficial to the people of Rivers state.
