- Leave Our Govs Forum Chairman Alone
posted June 9, 2023
The South-South Youth Vanguard on Friday, asked the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, to steer clear and stop injecting himself into the affairs of the PDP Governors.
Wike was reported to have criticized the selection of Bauchi State Governor, Alhaji Bala Mohammed as chairman of the PDP Governors Forum while speaking to State House Correspondents after his PDP G-5 Governors met with President Tinubu on Thursday.
Wike had argued that it was the turn of the South to produce the chairman of the PDP Governors forum.
But the Spokesperson of the group, Mr James Akpofure in a statement, said Wike should steer clear of the affairs of the forum. According to him, “Wike should know better than to bring his toxic politics to the PDPGF”
“Since the inception of the forum, the politics of zoning has never been a consideration. The PDP governor’s forum has always selected the ranking governor for the position.
“To educate Mr. know-it-all, Wike, the most ranking PDP governor is Gov. Obaseki of Edo State, followed by Gov. Makinde(Oyo), Gov. Fintiri(Adamawa) and Gov. Bala Mohammed. These governors can choose among themselves who will lead the forum,” Agofure said.
Continuing, the South-South PDP Youth Vanguard told Wike to face his “personal job lobby” and leave the PDP alone. “Gov. Bala Mohammed is one person who can unite the aggrieved interests in our party right now, and we trust that was why his mates chose him.”
