Legit.ng earlier reported that Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has boasted that the PDP will win all polls in the state, including governorship, house of assembly seats.
Wike, however, expressed uncertainty about the chances of the party when it comes to winning the presidential election in the state.
In a veiled message, the governor disclosed that PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar would not win the state if the right thing was not done.

PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, cannot be regarded as a unifier as the umbrella party has presented him to be.
Since the emergence of Atiku as the PDP presidential flagbearer, there has been a recurrent crisis in the opposition, and he has failed to arrest the issue.
A legal practitioner, Wale Adeagbo, said if Atiku is truly a unifier, he would have supported the call to move PDP chairmanship to the south.
