PDP cancels presidential rally in Rivers


…as Wike says ‘Atiku’s camp lacks capacity’

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says he’s not surprised that the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council put off its rally in the state.

Wike said the decision by the PDP PCC in Rivers was expected because none of the members had the political clout to mobilise a large number of supporters for the rally.

The governor spoke at the State PDP rally in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, on Monday.

He described those in charge of the campaign of the PDP presidential flagbearear, Atiku Abubakar, as lacking the political capacity to mobilise supporters in Rivers.

Wike and four other PDP governors have been demanding the resignation of PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu as a precondition to support Atiku’s presidential ambition in the February 25 poll.
