Omehia, who was recognized by Gov. Nyesom Wike as a former governor of the state, was few weeks ago derecognized for allegedly supporting Atiku Abubakar against the wish of Gov. Wike.
However, Gov. Wike had in a statement said the derecognition is not political as the Assembly only realized that recognizing Omehia was a mistake and decided to correct it.
