On Tuesday, October 4, during their visit to Port Harcourt, a number of members of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and the governor of the Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has been the subject of recent revelations.
The Punch claims that Adolphus Wabara, the interim chairman of the BoT, led the team to the meeting with the upset governor.
Tanimu Turaki, a former minister of special duties and intergovernmental relations, and Ibrahim Idris, a former governor of Kogi state, were also members of the delegation.
Four more people made the trip to the state capital of Rivers in an effort to discover long-term answers to the party’s crisis. Sources claim that Wike wasted little time in explaining to the group how Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, had repeatedly broken his pledges to the five governors who insisted on the ousting of Iyiorchia Ayu, the party’s national chairman. The source, a PDP leader who was a member of the Uche Secondus-led executive, claimed that Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta state, was chosen as Atiku’s running mate despite Atiku pleading with him to serve as his running mate.
