Chairman of Gokana Local Government Area in Rivers State, Confidence Deko has reacted to the emergence of the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa ahead of the Rivers state Governor, Barr, Nyesom Wike as running mate of the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party.
Deko in a statement over the weekend, said Wike has done so much for the party and does not deserve what the party gave to him.
According to him, Atiku ignored the recommendation of the National Working Committee and the party after he asked the NWC to pick a running mate for him.
His statement reads,
“I am not saying he is not supposed to use somebody, but I am of the view that if he was part of those who asked the NWC to search for who becomes the vice-president to be, and they gave him their recommendation, he would have acted on it.
“As far I am concerned, Wike has done so much for the PDP and I don’t think he deserves what the party gave to him. Come to think of it, Atiku Abubakar and the party asked the National Working Committee to find out who becomes the vice-president. A report was submitted and he (Atiku) ignored the report, and then picked Ifeanyi Okowa, the Delta State Governor.
“But to me, it looks very odd that after submitting the report to him, he went and announced Okowa. I don’t think that Wike deserves what Atiku has done to him.”
