In other news, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has accused Atiku, Tambuwal and the former national chairman of the PDP of destroying the party.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Fayose stated that “Atiku destroyed the PDP, Tambuwal destroyed the PDP, and Ayu destroyed it. Politics is not fair; life itself is not balanced.”
Speaking about the rift between the Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Fayose said he never envisioned the situation between the duo.
“Let me quickly say this. I never knew this thing would ever happen between Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
“I was sitting on the high table the day Governor Fubara was sworn in, and we were on the high table in Rivers. And I told Wike that I want to say one or two things to Fubara not to betray you,” he added.
