The spokesman said:

“The same way the Government wrote to National Director-General of PDP Presidential Campaign Council withdrawing the approval, it should write a formal letter of re-approval."

He said Wike’s withdrawal of Certificate of Occupancy of Senator Lee Maeba’s property in Port Harcourt because of political differences exemplifies the fickleness associated with his method of making decisions.
