Wike’s anti party activities are getting of hands and need to checked. He needs to be called to order. If he doesn’t want to be in PDP, fine and good, let him go. He shouldn’t be in PDP and continue to behave like a mad dog that has no control and cannot be tamed. It is his high time the Board of Trusty and the NEC decides what they want to do with him. To leave in party and he continues to be a spoiler or do away with him for good. He should not be allowed to continue to insult every get away with it. He is governor today, tomorrow he will be an ordinary citizen and what of if Atiku eventually wins. The man is an embarrassment to Rivers people and Nigerians as a whole. This is not politics at all. I use to respect him but all the respect I have for him is gone due to this his antagonistic attitude and disrespect to people.
