The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has described Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, as the Jagaban of the party.
\nAtiku said he holds Wike in high esteem, stressing that he was a man of revolution.
\nHe disclosed this through the spokesperson of his presidential campaign, Segun Sowunmi, on Arise Television, last Friday.
\nHe stressed that the Rivers State governor was a straightforward person who says things as they are.
\n\u201cWike is our own Jagaban; how do you explain a governor being able to keep other governors in line? One thing you can\u2019t deny him is that he has the ability to say it as it is. He will not bend or colour things.
\n\u201cAtiku holds Wike in high esteem, time and space may not bring them together, but he does. Wike is a man of revolution; he is one of the totems of PDP,\u201d he said.
\nThere are claims of crisis within the PDP following Atiku\u2019s selection of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
