The Governor of Rivers State, Barr. Nyesom Wike has alleged that PDP leaders from the North, including governors and ministers, ganged up against ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, in the 2015 general elections and paved the way for Muhammadu Buhari to emerge president.

He also said the PDP was in touch with high profile ex-PDP leaders and many APC chieftains for possible realignment ahead of 2019.

He alleged that members of Jonathan’s cabinet while he was in power, and ranking members of PDP, from the party’s former Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, deceived the former president and told him outright lies about his chances. Wike stated this in the current edition of The Interview.

In a statement by Azu Ishiekwene, the MD/Editor-In-Chief of The Interview, Wike said, “Let me tell you the truth; so many people were not sincere with Jonathan. You saw that even in the way some were being unduly sycophantic on issues that were totally out of point…I saw there was a lot of deceit.”

Wike said at the height of the presidential election, there were situations where politicians who were supposed to be in the field holed up in Abuja, filing false reports.

“Some of them would say, ‘Your Excellency, Sir, (Jonathan), as I’m speaking with you now, so and so state is down for PDP.’ They were all lies,” Wike said.

He specifically attacked northern leaders of the party, saying, “PDP in the North ganged up against Jonathan. Let the truth be told. Nobody will die. They were not sincere to him.

He said it was a mark of complicity that Jonathan was stoned in some states and the governors in those states watched idly by, adding that, “If I were in Jonathan’s shoes, I won’t take it; let the heavens fall.”

Wike, who was Minister of State for Education under Jonathan, and generally perceived as First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan’s “anointed”, attacked “most cabinet members” for taking advantage of the former president’s gentility.

He, however, said the PDP reconciliation committee of which he was chairman, had in sight, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, and top members of APC, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, among others.

It was an ethno-religious gang up laced with a sprinkle of desperate politicians from Southwest.

Na old news na... He forgot to include d South west

we all know it is true, that was why when buhari started with his loop side appointments and hate speech we know it was planned from the beginning.
North uses South at will to achieve their objective to the detriment of Nigerians that's why it will be difficult to make economic progress in Nigeria.

when u go against their hidden agenda they will use majority to push u out

Northerner in power are above the law while Southerner in power is under the law and we call it a country.

GEJ was stoned in the north and there was no operation 'Cat walk'?

Igbophobia chai!

The same bunch of pdp politicians who are in the APC today are saying that jonathan is the cause of Nigeria woes...how dumb

The north were not patient enough to watch someone from a minority group lead the country for long hence the gang up, even when it was clear that Jonathan was the first person from south south to become president of Nigeria.
