Governors in the camp of the Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike have boycotted the inauguration of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, as party leaders who are sympathetic to the Wike camp also stayed away from the International Conference Centre, Abuja, venue of the ceremony.
However, the PDP governors loyal to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, attended the event.
Atiku has been at loggerheads with the Wike camp over the insistence of the five governors that Ayu must be replaced with another candidate from the South, a call he has ignored.
