Atiku picked enemies of Rivers as members of his PCC — Gov. Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has claimed that that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2023 polls, Atiku Abubakar, has picked enemies of the state as members of his Presidential Campaign Council.

He spoke at the commissioning of the PDP governorship campaign office and inauguration of PDP Campaign Council.

This was done in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Monday.

Wike added that the the presidential candidate of the party does not need him in his campaign for the 2023 election.

He accused Abubakar of appointing some members of the PDP in Rivers State into his PCC without his contribution.

According to Wike: “The presidential candidate entered Rivers State and picked those he wants to pick without the contribution of the governor.

“So they said they don’t need me to campaign for them, that they don’t want Rivers people to campaign for them.

“Will you force yourself?

“I have never seen how people will disrespect a state like Rivers State and go and choose those who are enemies of the state.

“So they don’t want us to campaign.

“Let’s campaign for those who want us to campaign for them.”
