A prominent member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has vowed to turn himself to Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in the Kosofe LGA chapter of the party.
Wike, who was a presidential aspirant of the party but became aggrieved after losing the ticket to Atiku and the VP slot to Okowa, is leading a group of party loyalists demanding Ayu’s exit to achieve a “regional balance” since Ayu and Atiku are both from the North.
But the National Chairman has insisted he would not resign, saying he was elected for a four-year term. It was for this reason that the governors distanced themselves from the party’s presidential campaign.
Similarly, after the Kosofe PDP’s ongoing leadership crisis a few months before the 2023 election, Alaba Adenuga threatened to engage in anti-party activities similar to Wike’s, who has become a thorn in the side of the party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Alaba posted on her Facebook page, “If PDP in Kosofe doesn’t behave, I will surely turn myself to Wike of PDP in Kosofe LGA.”
Alaba’s comments attracted a few reactions below.
Akhigbe Ebukhaile said, “I will support you.”
Friday Ukeme Umontah wrote, “Wike is fully OBIDIENT Daddy Ore.”
Prince Daniyan Olushola replied, “There is freedom of expression, but do it politically.”
