The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has accused the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of sowing seed of discord among PDP governors and jeopardising the party’s prospect to clinch the presidency in 2023.
He has also warned that President Muhammadu Buhari’s integrity would be at stake if he fails to honour invitation of the House of Representatives to address the growing concern about the spate of insecurity across the country.
Wike, while speaking on a live television programme in Port Harcourt, last Friday, said it was regrettable that instead of capitalising on the inefficiency and maladministration that has characterised the All Progressives Congress-led government for five years, PDP’s NWC was deepening cracks in the party.
