Fresh facts have emerged on how the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike was able to mobilise members of the National Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party to get Port Harcourt endorsed for the party ’s national convention on Friday.

Investigations by our correspondent showed that two presidential aspirants in the party were behind the plot to take the convention out of Rivers State.

The aspirants were said to have suggested Enugu for the event.

Unfortunately for them, the state was said to have declined the suggestion.

The two aspirants (names withheld) are said to be from North-West and North -East, respectively

It was gathered that one of the aspirants was initially very close to Wike and had thought that he would be his ally in his bid to pick the party’s presidential ticket.

However, it was gathered that Wike had refused to give his commitment to the aspiration of his friend.

A source close to the party said that sensing that Wike was becoming too close to one of the aspirants from the North-West, the two aspirants ganged up and stared reaching out to their friends in the Board of Trustees to call for the change of venue for the convention.

The source said, “There are two presidential aspirants who were not comfortable with the use of Port Harcourt for the convention.

“Both of them are even supposed to be members of the BoT. One of them is very desperate and have even been going about as if he has emerged as the PDP presidential candidate.

“He has taken almost half of the hotel in Port Harcourt, until the state found out and stopped the plan by him to book all the hotels.

“The plan was to make all the delegates rely on him for accommodation and thereby force to do their bidding.

“But Wike moved in swiftly and stop the plan. That’s how they became enemies.

“The other one felt that he had been loyal to the party and therefore, Wike being another loyal member of the party, must work with him to get the ticket.”

Our correspondent gathered that when the two aspirants knew that they might not get the suport of the governor, they resorted to the BoT members.

The Chairman of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, had openly disagreed with the members of the National Working Committee on the use of Port Harcourt for the convention.

Jibrin, during the inauguration of the party’s National Convention Committee, openly told the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Mr. Taiwo Akinwomi that the party had yet to conclude on the issue of venue for the convention.

Sensing that the plan could be truncated, it was learnt that Wike had to mobilise his friends who are members of NEC to attend the meeting.

“That was why we had so many bigwigs in attendance despite the short notice for the meeting,” the source said.

No victor, no vanguished, says Fayose

Meanwhile, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said the conflict over the venue for PDP’s forthcoming national convention was resolved amicably and that there was no victor and no vanquished.

In a statement from his office on Saturday, the governor said it was mischievous of anyone to say Wike won the argument.

“Nobody won. Neither Wike nor PDP was in contest. It is, therefore, uncharitable to say that Wike won”, he added.

He can't lead us....no way.

That concerns you and your other monikers.

Uche mefor and other anambarisns will willingly lock up ANAMBRA especially ONITSHA for Nnamdi KANU. He is the boss. Its undisputed.

You anambara monikers should stop misrepresenting the good people of anambra.

Does he not know the amount of business and money that would have flowed into the state business community during the host of such event.
It would also boost the ratings of Enugu.

Stop calling them Anambra monikers. Anambra remains a strong IPOB stronghold.

Moreover, Uche Mefor, Anambra man is currently the leader of IPOB. IPOB is not Kanu personal property.

I know IPOB is not KANU property. I never said it was. In the absence of KANU, Mefor takes charge.

So ANAMBRA is an ipob stronghold.

Till today, KANU remains the leader until proven dead.

Ugwuanyi did the right thing.

I hate when we keep asking our Governors to do this and that with their limited resources, they plead lack of resources to do everything, then spend the resources on party jamborees.

I feel better that Enugu State's meager resources were spent on infrastructure than party jamborees.Imagine news like "Enugu spends N500 million on PDP national convention" It's the type of thing a thoughtless person like Rochas or Amaechi would do.

Is it that costly an event to host?

Were the delegates fed by Rivers state government.

Other than just providing a suitable venue and security, were there other monetary commitment involved?

So, he would sell Enugu short for his personal interest.

The PDP primaries was broadcasted all over the world. Imagine the kind of media publicity and free advertising hosting such event could have done for Enugu.

There is a reason Nations and cities choose to host events that would be globally broadcasted, despite the huge cost that would be incurred in puting necessary infrastructure, organization and security on ground.

Until proven otherwise, Ugwuanyi goofed big time. And this must be condemned if it were made for selfish interests considerations.
A good Governor must always try to market his state to the world.

Do you know the amount of money the event will bring into the city? Another news have that only enugu votes was shared in SE while atiku won by a wide margin in others. Wike and Ugwuanyi were working together for Tambuwal. While Wike is hustling for VP it's unclear what ugwuanyi was promised

In civilized climes. This accusation is grave and must be investigated by the opposition parties.

Ndi Enugu deserve to know why Ugwuanyi shortchanged the entire state of the opportunity to gain from such money spinning event like PDP primaries. As well as denying the state the opportunity for undivided media coverage and advertisement of her potentials and positive strides.

We cant allow these political office holders in Igboland, keep making selfish decisions that is detrimental to the rest of us.

We need to start holding these people accountable.
