Sources close to the governor told The Nation yesterday that he was not happy because Atiku’s campaign committee was not carrying him along in its activities.

The governor was said to have complained that some of the people appointed to work with him were appointed without his knowledge

An aide of the governor told our reporter yesterday that he was planning to communicate his decision to the presidential candidate.

The National Chairman of PDP, Uche Secondus, had announced the appointment of Wike as the South-South coordinator of Atiku’s campaign a few days after the latter emerged the presidential candidate of the party at its national convention in Port Harcourt on October 6.

His appointment was announced simultaneously as that of Senate President Bukola Saraki as the Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation while Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, was named as zonal coordinator for the Northwest.

Others who were also named as zonal coordinators include Gombe State governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo (Northeast), Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom (Northcentral) and Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi (Southeast).

The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, was named as the coordinator for the Southwest.

According to Saturday Sun, a major upset may have hit the presidential campaign of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar as the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike resigned his appointment as the south south zonal coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential campaign council.

A reliable source close to the governor told Saturday Sun late Friday night that Wike’s letter of resignation as Atiku’s campaign coordinator for the south south was ready and would be submitted today, Saturday.

Barely a month after, [i]Saturday Sun [/i]gathered that Wike is not comfortable with the way things are going in the campaign especially lack of consultations of appropriate party leaders before vital decisions and appointments are made. The source however said notwithstanding the resignation by the governor, he remains committed to the party and the 2019 campaigns.

he made big mistake by choosing Umahi and venue state governors for this kind of position. Ortom doesn't have the swag for the position while Umahi is technically an APC supporter, especially at the federal level where Atiku has interest. I guess he select Umahi for the position just to prevent him from "decamping" to APC but that is tantamount to own goal.

Wike has yet to and may never get over the raw deal he received from Atiku in Port Harcourt. Dude was hoping to become the running mate to Tambuwal only to recieve a very rude awakening.

Wike isn't known for someone who forgives. Look no further than his intractable conflict with Amaechi for guidance.

PDP's "survival" after their embarassing defeat in 2015 can be attributed solely to Wike, it is therefore understandable why he feels the way he does.

Las las, to hell with the killer party.
