I’m Sorry, I Can’t Serve As Your Campaign Coordinator, Gov. Wike Tells Atiku

Governor Nyeson Wike of River State

There are indications that the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has declined the position of South South zonal coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council to which he was recently appointed.

It was gathered that Governor Wike’s letter of resignation as Atiku’s campaign coordinator for the South South had been submitted to the national body of the party.

The PDP had in October named Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as Director-General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council along with prominent leaders of the party as zonal coordinators.

Announcing their appointment, the party’s national chairman, Uche Secondus, had said: “after due consultation with party stakeholders, PDP, under my leadership has approved the following as members of Atiku Presidential Campaign Council.”

Apart from the Senate president, Ayo Fayose, Aminu Tambuwal, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Samuel Ortom, Nyesom Wike and Dave Umahi were named as zonal coordinators.

While Governor Aminu Tambuwal was named as the Zonal Coordinator for NorthWest, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo was appointed Zonal Coordinator for North-East, Governor Samuel Ortom for North-Central, Governor Dave Umahi for South-East, Nyesom Wike for South-South and former Governor Ayodele Fayose as Zonal Coordinator for the SouthWest.

Barely a month after, it was 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.
