After Rivers State Governor Oyesom Wike’s threat to spill the beans and expose the high- wire corruption in the People’s Democratic Party, seven state governors of the party on Friday met in Port Harcourt supposedly to appease the governor.
According to the Special Assistant to Gov. Nyesom Wike on Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, the meeting was attended by Govs. Umaru Fintiri (Adamawa); Emeka Ihedioha (Imo); Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Samuel Ortom (Benue); Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto); and Mohammed Mattawale (Zamfara).
After the meeting, Tambuwal explained that the governors were in Rivers to commend Wike “for his sustained projects delivery’’.
He said the governors urged him to continue to deliver quality projects and sustain good governance for the development of Rivers State.
Tambuwal also said that PDP remained strongly united in friendship and brotherhood.
He said: “We are here as brothers and friends to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in the spirit of brotherhood and friendship.
“We are here to encourage and support him for the good governance he has given to the good people of Rivers State.
“The 100 days of the second term of Governor Wike is also why we are here.
“The spirit in Port Harcourt and Rivers State is that of celebration and thanksgiving and gratitude to God for such a wonderful leadership by Governor Wike.
“We are also here to join him and the good people of Rivers State in thanking God for his leadership and to thank God for giving the state a wonderful leader like him.”
