A former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Ghana, has identified the states that voted for Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, during the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential primary.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar emerged winner, after Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal withdrew for him.
The party has yet to overcome the rift the election caused especially after Atiku declined to make Wike his running mate.
Speaking as the governor’s ally on Friday, Gana said he fulfilled the promise he made to stand with Wike during the primary poll held in Abuja.
Besides, he noted, other middle belt delegates did the same.
Speaking as a guest of honour during the commissioning of a flyover in Port Harcourt, Gana said, “We stood by your son and our people delivered.
Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Kwara and Adamawa all stood by him. We love your son. He is a wonderful lover of truth and justice. He is performing and this the essence of democracy. The people elect a good leader who performs. In PDP we are proud of Governor Wike because he is a good performer. When he says it, he does it.”
Gana however noted that he and Wike were still for the PDP.
According to him, even if the party’s crises remained unresolved, they would not join the All Progressives Congress which, he said, had failed.
