The internal battle rocking the nation’s major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) six months to the presidential election did not show signs of lessening yesterday as peace talks between the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, remained in abeyance.?
Yesterday, Wike invited another top All Progressives Congress (APC), politician, to commission a project, where the Rivers governor, again, bragged that his widely acknowledged outstanding stewardship in office reflects his capacity and passion to deliver enduring development to the state, saying it has nothing to do with the party he belongs.?
?
He further showed off that with his performance in office, he can influence votes in the state.?
?
The governor, while replying to some politicians, who misunderstood his earlier statement that he was in charge of the state, wondered why “misguided elements” were misrepresenting his remarks.?
?
He said: “Because some people went to school late, they don’t comprehend when somebody says ‘I am in charge of this state. I never said I am in charge of votes in this state.?
