A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has made a statement implying that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is coward, and that the immediate past minister of works under President Muhammadu Buhari, Rotimi Amaechi is working for the victory of the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming Presidential election.
Momodu said: “Even if chief Bola Tinubu gets 25 percent in Rivers State, it is too little to help him win against H.E Atiku Abubakar, the only certified National candidate, and former Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and Mr Tonye Cole will take the credit… What a dead end!!”
He tweeted: “A coward Gov. Nyesom Wike, after a meeting, has told his caucus and local government chairmen in the state that he is not publicly naming his preferred presidential candidate. He directed them to work for Bola Tinubu of the APC and ensure he get 25%. Wike fears suspension.
“This news is such an anticlimactic case… After threatening for so many months, Governor Nyesom Wike could not announce his favorite and favored Presidential candidate GIDIGBA…”
It was reported that Wike had in December 2022, promised to publicly name his preferred presidential candidate in January 2023 ahead of the February poll but failed after raising the hope of many Nigerians.
A former Nigerian journalist residing in Pennsylvania, Jackson Ude, in a tweet today, January 31, alleged that Wike is afraid of suspension and has directed his caucus and local government chairmen to support Tinubu.
