The rivers state governor, NYESOM WIKE has described his Edo state counterpart, GODWIN OBASEKI as an ingrate and serial betrayal after the latter’s outburst that the people’s democratic party does not belong to Governor WIKE.

WIKE disclosed this while addressing a crowd at an event in Port Harcourt.

He accused the Edo governor of ungratefulness to the party and the people who supported him to be re-elected when he left the All-Progressives Congress (APC).

Governor WIKE, however, apologized to a former national chairman of the APC, ADAMS OSHIOMHOLE, whom he said had initially warned them about accepting Governor OBASEKI into the PDP fold.

Governor OBASEKI had slammed Governor WIKE over his reaction to comments by Edo State Deputy Governor, PHILIP SHAIBU, that PDP members who defected from the APC in Edo were not happy and do not feel accepted into the new party.

He had also said Nigeria needed strong democratic institutions and not strong men, stressing the need for the PDP to position itself to reclaim power at the centre in 2023.
