EDITOR’S PICK:
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Ifeanyi Okowa, the vice presidential running mate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has stated that the governor of Delta State will cooperate with Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State.
According to reports, Wike and certain PDP leaders are unhappy with Okowa’s selection as the party’s vice presidential candidate.
Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, formed a committee to choose his running partner as soon as he emerged.
Wike, who finished second in the PDP presidential primary poll in Abuja, was the candidate chosen by the committee.
But, Atiku had ignored the committee’s recommendation and opted for Okowa as his running mate.
Atiku’s decision is believed to have aggrieved Wike and other party chieftains.
However, the Delta State Commissioner for Information, Charles Aniagwu, assured that Okowa needs Wike’s support ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Aniagwu assured that Okowa would work with other leaders in the south to get votes for the PDP.
The Commissioner said, “Okowa will work with other leaders in the south and across the country to galvanize the voters. He (Okowa) believes that to have an inroad in Rivers State, for example, he will need leaders led by Wike to get the votes.
