“Good morning this morning, to Governor Sim Fubara, the undisputed Grand Commander of our PDP Forces in Rivers state.
“You have uprooted the former emperor from Port-Harcourt and turned him to an internally displaced politician, seeking solidarity from strange places.”
Legit.ng reports that Olarewaju’s jibe was prompted by the stance of a northern group which rejected Atiku and endorsed Wike as the PDP national leader.
One Haruna Bature who presented himself as the national chairman of the Arewa PDP Transparency Group was said to have made known the position of the northern group in Port Harcourt.
The group said Wike has the capacity to turn the fortunes of the party around for good.
However, supporters of Atiku have alleged that Bature should not be taken seriously as he was the coordinator of the 'Rotimi Amaechi Vanguard', but recently switched to Wike’s camp.
