Betrayal for Wike as Rivers PCC stands with Atiku Abubakar

Members of the presidential campaign council of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State have reiterated their support for Atiku Abubakar.

They made this declaration despite the harassment and threat of arrest and Executive Orders of Governor Nyesom Wike, The Nigerian Tribune reported.

Director-General of the council in Rivers State, Dr. Abiye Sekibo made the declaration in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, November 30, at a meeting with the Atiku Democratic Movement and Concerned Ogoni PDP Elders Council in Port Harcourt.

The former minister of transport urged the electorates in the state to ignore the dictatorial style of Governor Wike and support Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections.

He said; “We shall not worship the gold image that Nebuchadnezzar has set up in Babylon, we are the Shedrack, Meshach, and Abednego of this time.

"He has set up a monument of gold which is money and he has asked the people to worship him, to do whatever he says. Shedrack, Meshach, and Abednego said that the image you have set up, we will not worship it. That is where the Atiku group in Rivers State stands. They can tear Atiku posters, bring out decrees but we stand with the truth.”

On his part, a member of the council, Sir Celestine Omehia said the internal crisis that rocked the party has been put to rest as they have moved on.
