Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has reacted to the events that have unfolded in the aftermath of the presidential primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He spoke on Friday at the Port Harcourt International Airport in the Rivers State capital shortly after he returned from a foreign trip.

“I have decided to be quiet because PDP is a party I love so much,” said the governor during a briefing with reporters. “I have moved on to conclude my social contract with the people of Rivers. However, it is time to let Nigerians know the truth.”

Governor Wike faulted the speech by the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the day he unveiled Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate.

He also accused the former vice president of telling lies against him, as well as using some chieftains of the main opposition party to spread falsehood against his person.

The governor vowed to respond to both the party’s flagbearer and the party chieftains whom he described as Atiku’s ‘attack dogs’ one-by-one and line by line in due time.

He said posterity would not forgive him should he fail to set the record straight and promised to clear the air after the commissioning of the projects lined up for inauguration by the state government.

On the reconciliation committee set up by the PDP leadership, Governor Wike stated that former Vice President Atiku had yet to send any delegation to him.

He, however, said a former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, met with him in Spain, although in his personal capacity.

According to the governor, the former vice president came to his house to beg for support but suddenly does not know the way to his house any longer.

He went on to challenge anyone to identify that he or she was sent by the PDP candidate to speak to him about the issue in the PDP and the aftermath of the party’s presidential primary.

Governor Wike who said the idea of setting up a committee was only being seen in the media, however, insisted that he would remain in the PDP and help rebuild the party.

“I am not a slave and will not be a slave. I am freeborn of the country,” he declared.

In the party’s presidential primary held in May, Atiku polled 371 votes to emerge as the PDP’s flagbearer ahead of Wike who scored 237 votes to come second in the contest.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki (70); Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel (38), Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed (38), Former Senate President Pius Anyim (14), Mrs Tari Diana Oliver (One), and Mr Sam Ohuabunwa (1) shared the remainder of the valid votes.

Weeks after the primary was held, the PDP presidential candidate named Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate in the forthcoming election.

This, however, led to a disagreement among party stakeholders as some commended the choice of Okowa while others rejected it, saying Atiku should have picked Wike who was the runner-up in the primary in the stead of his Delta counterpart.

In a bid to address the perceived grievances of the governor, the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the PDP set up a reconciliatory committee to meet with Wike of Rivers State over the fallout of the party’s presidential primary and crisis trailing the nomination of a running mate.

Atiku's lying tendencies is a big red flag, liars are opportunists who will pull every trick to benefit themselves, Nigerians will regret it should they vote for an Atiku's presidency.

I now understand why obasanjo hates him so much.

He will remain in PDP as a spoiler to have the last laugh.

"l am not a slave and will not be a slave. I am freeborn of the country,” he declared.



But APC is holding Nigerians in slavery including the Governor of River state .

Wike should join labour Party ASAP. Get registered, get your PVC, GET OBIdient.

PDP IS DEAD

Wike must remain in the PDP and destroy the party kpatakpata. I'm now ever convinced that Atifiku will lose Rivers State to Peter Obi come 2023 once Wike remains neutral in the process.

Presidential election result in Rivers State will be tilting towards LabourParty win.

Peter Obi is coming
God bless Peter Obi
God bless OBIdient people

I'll vote Wike over Atiku anytime any day.

It's time for Peter Obi......The hour has come!!!

He will definitely want atiku to loss so that next election he will stand a good chance of contesting.. he will surely work against Atiku

The reason he wants to stay back is only to deliver his candidate in Rivers state and remain a godfather there.
If he moves to any other party now, he'll bcom a homeless and worthless politician.

Agbado supporters were banking on him to join APShit and deliver Rivers state to them, una ntoor.

Rivers is in the bag for Peter Obi
