Wike Asset To PDP, Those Around Him Putting Fire To Fuel — Lamido

Former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has described the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike as an asset to PDP who should be kept for future purposes.

Lamido who is one of the leaders of PDP said the Rivers Governor is now like a “boiling pot” because, unknown to him, those he considers to be his friends are actually his worst enemies who are adding more fuel to the fire.

Given his record as chief executive of the oil-rich state, Lamido characterized Wike as a front-runner who had etched his name in glory, he said in an interview with newsmen.

“He is a person we must safeguard, and we must save him from his own rage,” Lamido remarked.

Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar was elected as the PDP’s presidential candidate on May 28, 2022, at the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

Wike who came second at the primary election is reportedly upset that Atiku chose Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running partner on June 16, 2022.

Lamido blamed people close to the governor, who he didn’t name, for fanning the flames of hatred. He said that the Rivers State governor needs to be saved and kept for the future.

He stated: “Wike is now like a boiling pot. He is so angry because the people around him prevent him from seeing properly. Those whom he considers to be his friends are actually his worst enemies. It is a fact that he will eventually realize, which is why they are adding more fuel to the fire. “
