More information has emerged on the reasons for River Governor, Nyesom Wike’s absence from a rally organised by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Osun State.
It was widely reported that Wike was absent from the event due to his rift with the party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
However, a PDP stalwart and former member of the House of Representatives, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, revealed that governor may have decided to stay away from the Osun rally due to unresolved issues within the party.
Nwuke said, “The truth is that you know that are issues in the PDP that have not been resolved. One can say clearly that Wike loves his party but, you don’t also expect him to be there when the coast is not clear.”
Another reliable source said that Wike had not yet returned from a trip abroad.
“You know that if Governor Wike is in Nigeria, everyone will know. But he is yet to return to the country after attending his son’s graduation ceremony in UK last week.”
