Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, spoke candidly about the circumstances behind Atiku Abubakar’s selection as the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential candidate during the PDP primaries on Friday.
According to prior claims from Credible News, Nyesom Wike would today—Friday—expose those evil PDP members.
He claimed that if it weren’t for their love of the main opposition party, they could have stopped the PDP convention from happening.
Nyesom Wike, who made this disclosure during a media debate, claimed that Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s national chairman, played a crucial role that hurt other candidates when Atiku was chosen as the party’s nominee.
The governor claimed that at the convention, Ayu called for a number of presidential candidates to resign in favour of the former vice president.
“He was calling candidates to drop out in favour of Atiku. Saraki and I, among others, were present.
“He used delegate manipulation. Nothing Ayu did could have prevented Wike from emerging, according to Nyesom Wike.

“Meetings upon meetings were going,” the governor continued. People were under increasing pressure to resign.
“Meetings continued on the convention’s final night. We started our convention late because of this.
There were some retired generals engaged. They hosted several of the meetings at their homes. They did everything they could to get me to resign.
“Those who know me know that even if heaven fell, I would have halted the conference.”
It was gathered that after a meeting on Wednesday morning at Nyesom Wike’s private mansion in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, the Wike camp decided not to participate in the campaign council that was supposed to be inaugurated the following Wednesday.
In a statement that he personally signed in response to the resignation from his campaign council on Wednesday, Atiku repeated his resolve not to become involved in the calls for Ayu’s dismissal.
