The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has insisted that he and other Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders from his camp in Rivers State, will not leave the party but remain to continue the fight for internal democracy, contrary to insinuations.
This was made known by Wike on Thursday during a meeting with stakeholders of the party across the 319 wards of the state at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Port Harcourt on Thursday, where he stated that retreating from a fight is a sign of weakness.
The meeting was to brief the party leaders on the recent happenings in the party and intimate them of the plan by the Governor to hold a media chat tomorrow at 10 am to speak on the state of the PDP in the country.
Wike said the planned media chat is to publish his side of the story, which he maintained is the truth, and expose the ill characters of some persons who pride themselves as national leaders.
He stated that after the chat, it will be left for Nigerians to decide if such people are still worthy of the ovation they are accorded, wondering why the PDP which is promising to unify Nigeria, cannot unite the party.
Governor Wike says despite the internal crisis at the national level and a pocket of antagonism by some ungrateful PDP members in Rivers State, the party will retain all elective positions in the state.
What you should know
- Recall that yesterday, the crisis in PDP worsened as the camp of Governor Wike, officially announced its withdrawal from participating in the presidential campaign of the party for the 2023 elections.
- This decision appears to be a fallout of the non-resolution of the group’s grievances with the party leadership and the presidential candidate of the party, which centred primarily on the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.
- The PDP recently announced its presidential campaign team for the 2023 general election with some members of Governor Wike’s camp appointed as leaders and members of the campaign council for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
- However, Atiku, in a swift reaction, insisted that no member of the party can force Ayu to resign from office.

Some fanatic idiots foolishly think someone from my relative must be a lecturer to find a reason behind my heavy support for ASUU in their struggle.
Those gullible should rethink and understand that human support is not restricted to family affair or something related. I’m laying my support in solidarity with any oppressed against any oppressor. To have relation with someone is not a benchmark to render human sympathy during any catastrophe, thinking otherwise is a stupidity of a great proportion.
We have wealth in this country but some few criminals hijack the treasury and divert the fund into their pocket. Nigerian citizens are not enjoying anything from our national wealth apart from this yet to be killed education, govt is now trying to eliminate the remaining scrub Nigerians are fortuitously benefitting from, some empty headed Nigerians are clapping and hailing them.
Amidst ASUU strike while advocating for National recession by some agents of darkness the kind of Chris Ngige and others, former Accountant General found guilty for looting over N100b from National treasury. This underline the mischievous lies and failure of Nigerian govt in advocating no money to meet ASUU demands.
Those brainless idiots insulting ASUU over this lingering strike are doing so because they have no option. They castigate ASUU for being inconsiderate and overlook the heavy and merciless embezzlement by money milking politicians entrusted with national wealth.
Lets agree ASUU are greedy, whose greedy is worst than the other between them and these wicked politicians ?
As a student, whose greediness will benefit you between ASUU and FG ?
How many billions of Naira have ASUU ever looted ?
Because federal govt are untouchable, they have guns to kills and prison to jail some cowards are now afraid of them, thus, shifting the blame on ASUU.
Everyone knows no any thing is going properly in this country and majority remain silence, those that wake up and demand for their right are being mocked and insulted by the some negative minded Nigerians that are suffering together. People are saying everyone knows FG is insensitive about education system and instead of them to pressure the govt to be sensitive they are busy attacking ASUU that demand the sensitivity
If you can’t pressure FG to do the needful don’t bother pressuring ASUU to stop demanding the needful, this is hypocrisy. You failed to look for better thing, some people look for it and you’re busy insulting them.
If we continue like this, the education system of our younger generation should be worst beyond imagination.”
