2019: Wike Resigns As Atiku’s Campaign Zonal Coordinator
It is understood that Wike is not comfortable with the way things are going in the campaign, especially lack of consultations.
A major upset may have hit the presidential campaign of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar as the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike resigned his appointment as the south south zonal coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential campaign council.
A reliable source close to the governor told Saturday Sun late Friday night that Wikeâs letter of resignation as Atikuâs campaign coordinator for the south south was ready and would be submitted today, Saturday.
The PDP had in October named Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as Director-General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council along with prominent leaders of the party as zonal coordinators.
Announcing their appointment, the partyâs national chairman, Uche Secondus, had said âAfter due consultation with party stakeholders, PDP, under my leadership has approved the following as members of Atiku Presidential Campaign Council.â
Apart from the Senate president, Ayo Fayose, Aminu Tambuwal, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Samuel Ortom, Nyesom Wike and Dave Umahi were named as zonal coordinators.
While Governor Aminu Tambuwal was named as the Zonal Coordinator for NorthWest, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo was appointed Zonal Coordinator for North-East, Governor Samuel Ortom for North-Central, Governor Dave Umahi for South-East, Nyesom Wike for South-South and former Governor Ayodele Fayose as Zonal Coordinator for the SouthWest.
Barely a month after, Saturday Sun gathered that Wike is not comfortable with the way things are going in the campaign especially lack of consultations of appropriate party leaders before vital decisions and appointments are made.
The source however said notwithstanding the resignation by the governor, he remains committed to the party and the 2019 campaigns.
