Uneasy Silence In Rivers Over Okowa As Atiku’s Running Mate by 2mercy(op): 7:56pm On Jun 16, 2022

The emergence of Delta Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, as running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has caused unusual quietness in Rivers State.

Most stakeholders of the PDP in the State were said to be disappointed at the last- minute horse trading that produced Okowa ahead of Governor Nyesom Wike.

The Government House and PDP leaders on Wednesday celebrated reports that Wike had been recommended by the PDP’s Advisory Committee as a running mate having reportedly won 16 votes to defeat Okowa, who got only three votes.

But they were said to have felt embarrassed that despite the recommendation of the committee, the PDP and Atiku settled for Okowa.

They were said to have wondered the rationale behind setting up the committee if Atiku and some PDP leaders had wanted to pick Okowa.

Immediately report of Okowa filtered into the the State and all PDP leaders, stakeholders wore long faces refusing to speak on the matter.

Most of them were scared to speak on the matter as Wike had yet to officially declare his next move.

Rivers PDP Publicity Secretary, Tambari Sydney, said the national leadership of the party would handle the development.

Gov. Wike should remember how Kwankwaso helped him in the Presidential Primaries.

Was the committee setup to humiliate Wike?

That's is not too good.

Wike will soon realize that he has no political relevance in the PDP agenda; he will most likely leave the party disgruntled.

The choice of Okowa is a severe political sucide, which clearly indicates that the party is charting an unknown course, at the end of which they would harvest failure.

A candidate from the southwest would have thrown Tinubu’s camp in disarray, with few of the leftover southern apologist of the decaying politicians choosing their best form of misery.

I remain OBI-DIENT!!!

You still haven’t woken up to the reality staring at you.

Hello! Peter Obi can only be the President of Nigeria online. Occupying Aso rock is pure undiluted fiction.

No way in Heaven, and on Earth that such fictitious belief will materialize.

It’s just like saying Arsenal would win the next champions league!

When PDP has no hope after the 2015 defeat, this same Wike and Rivers resuscitated it. It is unfair and totally wrong to sideline them. Where were Atiku and the rest of these PDP people when almost everyone deserted PDP including Jonathan? Wike should just work with Kwankwaso and Obi.

Atiku is afraid of Wike and doesn’t want to be ousted by his own vice. Pdp stake holders should take heart.

Okowa will be another osibanjo, docile and servant boy, following mumushly and doing nothing.

Wike is just lost in thoughts as to his next political step, he will just loot port harcourt treasury dry and varnish.

He mustn’t die a politician, from a local government chairman for eight years to a minister and then a governor, he should give others a chance.
