River state Governor Nyesom Wike, on Monday accused the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, of disrespecting him by picking the state’s PDP presidential campaign nominees without his contribution.
The governor made the claim while inaugurating the PDP campaign council and the launching of the party’s governorship campaign office in Port Harcourt, the state capital, adding that Atiku selected
“enemies” of Rivers into his campaign council for the 2023 general elections.
Wike stressed that the photos of Atiku and those of the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, have been missing from the state’s PDP campaign materials because they don’t want him to campaign for the party at the national level.
