A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, as his son despite the shenanigan with the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara and the crisis in the PDP.
Naijaonpoint reports that George, in an interview on Arise TV, referenced the anomaly in the opposition party and Wike’s position about it.
The PDP chieftain stated that he had also called on the BoT chairman of the party to arrange a meeting with Wike and Fubara over the ongoing political crisis in Rivers state.
George said he had met with Fubara, who shared his side of the story, but an attempt to meet Wike failed.
He said, “Wike is like a son to me and when I saw the division as an elder of the party from the convention, I spoke with Ayu that you made a public statement that if the presidential candidate comes from the north you would resign but now you are manipulating it, and that was where the crisis started.
“It is an anomaly to have the presidential candidate and the party chairman from the same zone, people will react to that. I don’t live my life based on Wike.
“I saw the shenanigans going on between him and his governor and I called the Chairman of the BoT that it’s important for us to arrange a meeting with Fubara and Wike, to know the problem between the two of them.
“Fubara gave us an appointment and set up a committee where we met with him in Port Harcourt, he told us his side of the story. And, when I called Wike that we must see him; he sir I’m going to China and when I’m back we will see.”
