If you belong to my party and you are not doing well in governance, you won\u2019t see me. If you don\u2019t belong to my party and you are doing well, you will see me. Good governance is what I stand for. I will not regret to say that I am in support of you (Sanwo-Olu) for second term. Others should not waste their time.<\/p>\n<p>In a terse statement issued by Sanwo-Olu\u2019s Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, Wike was quoted as endorsing the Lagos State Governor for a second term in office.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, the Lagos State PDP Chairman, Philip Aivoji, in a chat, said the Rivers Governor\u2019s action was condemnable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch action is condemnable. It is not a welcomed development at all and it is not expected of a governor of that stature, a serving governor under PDP. No matter the quarrel, whether you want Ayu to be removed, I don\u2019t think that is the best way to handle it. As for me and all the leaders in Lagos State, we query such utterances. It is uncalled-for and unnecessary. When you are in PDP, you stand by the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A statement later by the party\u2019s Publicity Secretary, Hakeem Amode, said, \u201cI would have \u201cexpressed disappointment if Wike had attended any event with a speaking role without his usual rant of a drowning man who will clutch at straw.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State chapter, has condemned the endorsement of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.
