“That is what is required. There is no big deal about that.”

Recall that Wike had been in loggerheards with Abubakar Atiku, presidential candidate of the PDP, ahead of the February 25 election, over zoning.

The former Rivers governor is also challenging the right of the PDP to expel him for ‘anti-party’ activities, in court.
