Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike on Sunday snubbed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar’s meeting with state party stakeholders.
The meeting is to prepare the state ahead of Saturday’s, February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Among those present at the meeting were a former National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus; Senator Ben Bruce; a former governor of Rivers state, Celestine Omehia, among other prominent party members in the state.
Atiku’s campaign Director, Public Communications, Senator Dino Melaye, stated that the meeting was a compensation for the Rivers State rally, which was shelved by the party, owing to the impasse with Governor Nyesom Wike.
The co-convener, Senator Lee Maeba, assured the PDP of victory in Rivers State, while listing some federal projects that Atiku should prioritise in the state, such as the completion of the East-West Road.
In his remarks, the candidate promised full completion of the East-West Road and to revamp the Federal Government amnesty programme upon assuming office.
