ter of the People’s Democratic party (PDP) has cautioned the defeated candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC),  Dr. Dakuku Adol’ Peterside  over his comments and level of  disrespect he accorded the office of the Governor of the State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
In a statement  signed by  the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the State PDP Chairman, Jerry Needam, the party said despite the glamour that characterizes the game of politics, it still has a bitter side.
The PDP Chairman, Brother Felix Obuah explained that “this bitter side are the pains and regrets that follow losing the election” reminding Peterside that “nobody goes into any election to lose but one thing is certain. There must be a loser no matter the degree of optimism.
According to him, ’’While the winner smiles home with victory, the loser shies away like an accused sentenced for a guilt never committed. The winner however, is expected to be magnanimous in victory while the loser, notwithstanding the pain of his loss, is expected to exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship since there is always a second chance or another opportunity”.
Obua in the statement regretted that the 2015 governorship candidate of the APC described Governor Wike as infantile,  cautioning him against insulting the governor at the slightest opportunity.
