WORDSENSEI: Governor of Ebonyi State, Engineer David Umahi on Saturday paid a visit to his Rivers State counterpart, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike at his private residence in Port Harcourt.
ThisNigeria reports that Umahi arrived on what he called “a friendly and brotherly” visit at 9pm.
This visit makes it Umahi’s first meeting with Wike after the former dumped the PDP for the APC following an alleged dissatisfaction with the party.
Wike and Umahi both contested the primaries of their respective parties.
However, the Rivers Governor is regarded as a victim of intense “powerplay and gang up” by vociferous forces within his party after he was denied the vice presidential candidacy despite being the party’s favourite.
He had been endorsed by the screening committee of the party but was passed over for Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
A source had told ThisNigeria that Okowa’s emergence as Atiku’s running mate was influenced by PDP Party Chair, Iyorchia Ayu amid a grand conspiracy by Northern Oligarchs and some ex-military chiefs, who believed that Wike “could not be controlled” if he got the slot.

JEWELofHELL666: Peter Obi Offered Me Money To Support Him, I Rejected It — Adeyanju Lambasts Supporters Of Labour Party Presidential Candidate Who Accused Him Of Sycophancy | Sahara Reporters.
The Ipobians want to force Obi on everyone, and immediately you refuse to accept they will start bullying you, threatening you and accusing you of taking money, this is the same thing Reno has been complaining about them of recent yet they won't learn.
Since Igbo blood is in him what then do you expect? Igbo has been licking the ass of the northerners years without number. Tafawa Balewa, Shagari, Tofa, Umar Musa Yar'adua, and they have been atikulating for a while now, this is not new to Nigerians, the Igbo in him is only showing the trait of his DNA.
Peradventure Pandora Peter wins the forthcoming elections are we not going to be sitting at home all over Nigeria every Monday in order for Peter Pandora to satisfy his Ipob boys?
You that love yourselves,what have you achieved as a country,5 hrs electricity is still rocket science to you all And bandits are running amok in your region
See how you are running from lane one to lane six, that's why you get easily disqualified. Justice should start from your region not expecting someone to dash you justice.
Goodday90: then he should blame Apc and not ndigbo
Blame APC? Why are you reasoning with your anus? How many votes did the south east delegates in PDP gave to Ayinm Pius Ayinm? You don't love yourselves but wants other tribes to love you.
Goodday90: Umahi think we have forgotten how he was busy insulting ndigbo because of his selfish ambitions Is he not he said that he is no longer igbo,foolish village boy
But how many votes did the Igbos gave to Ayinm Pius Ayinm in PDP despite his live for the Igbo? The joke is really on the Igbos who do not love each other but wants other tribes to love them.
Sergio101: Umahi.... sincerely the shame is yours.
You are the real betrayer in scheme of reality. Stop shifting blames
Pls how is the shame on him? How many votes did Igbo gave to Anyim Pius Anyim in PDP? Igbo votes went to Atiku and the same in APC the igbos votes for Ahmad Lawan. The shame is on Igbos who do not love each other's but wants other tribes to love them.
DOTian: "Humble Osinachi"? Remember you don't have the whole story ooo Some people might be looking humble from the outside but at home, they are gangsta grizzles.. There is a possibility that things are not exactly as they are made to look like
But even in a studio he was so confident to slap his wife, the studio engineer testified against him.
The national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Oye, has revealed that a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, vowed never to leave the party till death do them part.
However, Obi, who emerged as the governor of the state in 2006 and spent two terms in office, later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in 2014. He became the Vice-Presidential candidate for the PDP in the 2019 general election.
Speaking about the defection and how APGA was able to win the Anambra election, Oye noted that Obi has not achieved anything politically since he defected because of the covenant he made with the party.
Oye stated that for Obi to achieve anything politically, he will have to return to APGA.
He said, “Remember that Peter Obi was in APGA and when he was with APGA, he performed superlatively well. The moment he left APGA, the APGA spirit left him. He has never achieved anything politically ever since. If he wants to achieve anything politically, he should come back to APGA; then, we will now re-ignite the APGA spirit in him.
“That is how it is done. Let me tell you, let him continue to jump from pillar to post, he cannot achieve anything because APGA gave him a platform and he took a vow that he will never leave APGA until death does them part. Now he left APGA; what do you expect would happen when you take a vow? A vow is a covenant and you must keep it. That is what is happening here.. He has joined Labour Party for Presidency, it will be a catastrophic exercise, it will not work.”
I suspect that this has Tinubu's hand in it, Peter Pandora can become anything without any assistance from APuGa
tinsel: No. Obi did not miss calculate. A lot of work has gone into this. By the Grace of God, Obi will be the presidential candidate and Kwakwanso Vice in Kwakwanso's party. A political earthquake is about to happen in Nigeria
Wake up from your hallucinations, in your wildest dreams you think Kwankwaso will hand over his party's presidential ticket to Obi Pandora?
duro4chang: You cannot blame him he is the only one who saw what he saw before he resign. Our politics is not as easy as you normally say it here on nairaland. People have been telling you this but you thought otherwise
But if Tinubu happens to be the one that resigned from APC will that your opinion still be the same?
Whether miscalculated or calculated he's the next president of Nigeria .Wherever he goes, we'll all vote him massively. We Nigerians can afford to loose this golden opportunity.
