National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus, and the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom WikeThe Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Friday said the resolution of the internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party had allayed his initial fear of possible implosion in the party.
He noted that the convivial manner in which PDP governors and the party’s Board of Trustees members resolved the crisis had given Nigerians hope that the party was prepared to take over power from the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2023.Focus NigeriaThe governor’s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, relayed this in a statement titled, ‘Governors, BOT saved PDP from implosion – Wike.’
The governor was quoted to have explained that it was not uncommon for a political party to experience internal squabble in view of the forthcoming poll and varying interests.“I use to be afraid of the possibility of an implosion and that could have been the end of the party. But what I saw on Monday gave me a lot of confidence for the first time.
“I have never seen that happen, the way the governors came together and spoke in a convivial manner with no dissenting view. I was impressed,” he was quoted to have said. While dismissing insinuation that he had a personal disagreement with the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, Wike said his primary concern had been to salvage the PDP from an impending doom occasioned by an inert leadership.
