A former Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, has won the governorship primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State.
Wike resigned his appointment to contest for the governorship ticket.
He is believed to be favoured by the Presidency, especially the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
This is more so for his opposition to the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Reports from other centres where the governorship primaries are being held are being awaited.
