The ruling All Progressives Congress APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, are presently jostling for Barr. Nyesom Wike, the present minister of the Federal Capital Territory on whose campaign train he will belong in the forthcoming Bayelsa State Governorship polls.
It could be recalled that the name of Wike appeared both in the APC and PDP Governorship campaign councils for the November 11 polls.
In a campaign list released yesterday, the national organising secretary of the APC, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu named Wike and others including the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio as members of the campaign council.
Earlier in the month, the PDP listed Barr. Nyesom Wike among the 72 man campaign council team inaugurated for the Bayelsa State Guber polls chaired by Taraba state governor, Agbu Kefas, but Barr. Wike was absent at the inauguration of the PDP campaign council and Wike has not officially resigned from the PDP as well.
With the recent happenings, it is glaring that he PDP still regards the former Rivers State governor as its members despite working against the party in the last presidential election.
Wike fell out with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate for not fielding as the vice presidential candidate.
It was then Wike organised some PDP governors to work against the victory of the party in the presidential election.
Wike was made a minister by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his loyalty and to spite the PDP, and for making Wike a member of PDP Governorship campaign council , the party is passing the unfortunate impression about the indispensability of the former governor to the party.
