Rivers crisis: Fintiri begs Wike, Fubara
Fintiri made this plea on Saturday, September 28, as he attended a grand reception hosted by the Rivers Ijaw Peoples Congress in honour of Wike, TVC News reported.
The Adamawa state governor seems to have joined Wike's camp following this move on Saturday.
Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde and other former G-5 members, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (ex-governor of Enugu state), Okezie Ikpeazu (ex-governor of Abia State), and Samuel Ortom (former governor of Benue state), were also present at the event on Saturday.
This development comes on the heels of Fintiri’s public endorsement of Ambassador Umar Damagun as the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a close ally of Wike, PoliticsNigeria reported.
The endorsement of Damagum was made amid internal discord and criticism directed at the current National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
