Confusion In Rivers PDP Over Wike, Others by unuane1(m): 5:58am On Nov 23, 2014 |
Against the thinking of many people in Rivers State that President Goodluck Jonathan will prevail over the immediate past Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, to sacrifice his governorship ambition for the purpose of equity, the reverse is the case as the former minister embarks on the opening of his campaign offices across the state. More so, there was unconfirmed information last week that the former Foreign Affairs Minister, Henry Odien Ajumogobia, who is from the Ijaw Kalabari area of the state, would be favoured in place of Wike, as the next governor of the state. In what looks like a desperate move to resolve the lingering crisis in the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Presidency might have been armed twisted to consider a Kalabari candidate as a way of assuaging the people’s anger. An informed source close to the Abuja seat of power divulged to Sunday Independent at the weekend that rather than losing the state in the forth-coming governorship election in February, wise counsel might have prompted the Presidency to rather scout for an untainted Kalabari person that would be generally acceptable to the people of the state despite his tribe. The source hinted that the party may consider the choice of Ajumogobia, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) from Abonnema area of Akuku Toru local government area, as its choice candidate. Ajumogobia was a Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General in Rivers State in the first tenure of former Governor Peter Odili in 2003. He is generally believed to be highly incorruptible despite the fact that he has been in politics over the years. An expert in commercial litigation, environment and transport law, Ajumogobia may be the PD’s best choice to calm frayed nerves, particularly those that are not comfortable with Wike’s ambition. Wike, it would be recalled, had told the Rivers people on the day of his reception, that he would work with anybody that wins the party’s primary next month, as long as it would enable the PDP win the state. It would also be remembered that on October 30 at the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt, about 16 governorship aspirants, majority of who were Kalabari indigenes on the platform of the party, in conjunction with Mainstream Coalition, publicly announced why Wike should not be considered for the governorship. But, majority of the Rivers indigenes are still rooting for the former minister as witnessed in all his sensitisation rallies across the state in recent times. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/11/confusion-rivers-pdp-wike-others/ 1 Like 1 Share |

All I see is people fighting hard to protect their interests. The major problem is the unwarranted interest of the Jonathan-LED government in Rivers State. I guess it is high time the people of Rivers State decides the direction they want to follow. 1 Like |

They should allow primaries to decide the winner, Nyesom Wike should be allowed to reap where he has sown. 1 Like |

It is normal for rumours, claims and counter claims like this to come up prior to an election of this nature. The simple truth is that Wike would be the next governor of Rivers State as the people are solidly behind Wike. 1 Like |

Wike should be disqualified and allow him to sponsor a candidate from either the Ogonis or the riverine ijaw because of the zoning arrangement |

WIKE(Ikwerre man) cannot succeed Gov. Amaechi(Ikwerre man) after 8yrs. Wike is the only Ikwerre man contesting to take over from his brother. The Ikwerres know that they have served their 2terms through Amaechi, that's why no Ikwerre man indicates interest except the over ambitious, greedy,lack of conscience and no respect for agreement WIKE. Whatever he claims he has done for the R/S PDP should not be the basis to disregard and insult other ethnic groups that has not been Gov of the state. He has the money and therefore manipulating the process to favour him. If he eventually becomes the Gov, he would set wrong precedence.Remember other groups are watching.When they become Gov, they'll also stay 16yrs!! |
