It\u2019s too bad, annoying and nauseating for Nigerians to believe a man like Wike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe former Rivers State Governor&#8230; is in fact, the architect of the protracted crisis undermining the PDP due to his selfish agenda&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of selfishness and fear of the unknown, Wike a card carrying PDP member is in deed and in action, a member of the ruling APC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom Wike\u2019s time as a local government chairman, Rotimi Amaechi\u2019s Chief of Staff, Minister of Education (State), and Governor of Rivers State, Atiku never destroyed PDP. It is the PDP that gave Wike the platform to become what he is today. If anybody had destroyed PDP, would Wike be anything in Nigeria\u2019s political terrain today? Certainly no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this juncture, I urge Wike to shelve his political underhand schemes targeted at Atiku as they are dead on arrival and will only lead him to political dungeon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
