We also understand that the governor has been pushing Rivers people in the direction of his own selfish interest.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nNwibubasa, who is a former commissioner for Employment Generation under Wike-led government, also said the governor does not have genuine supporters in the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the people know the truth, they will align with the truth and that is why we are speaking up. Rivers is a PDP state and whoever wants to push us from the PDP to any other party is an enemy of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you that even some of the people you said are supporters of the governor are not. They may be his supporters publicly but in their minds, they are all going to work for the PDP eventually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for fear of the governor and because they hold positions right now in Rivers State, they are likely to be telling you we\u2019re with Wike. I can tell you that no one is with Wike,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/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 spokesman of the Atiku\/Okowa Campaign Council in Rivers State, Dr. Leloonu Nwibubasa has said claims by Governor Nyesom Wike that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
