2023 Election: Wike Mentions 1 Governor Who Betrayed Him After Secret Plot to Overthrow Atiku202
Wike speaks on PDP's internal crisis During a live media interaction on Tuesday, March 12, Wike recalled past events that shaped his political stance, particularly when he was governor of Rivers state. He claimed that some PDP governors actively worked against the party's interests. "When I was governor, I saw how the ruling party attempted to destabilize the PDP by using Ali Modu Sheriff. But I stood firm to ensure the party survived. I never went to the Villa seeking favors," he stated. When asked whether he agreed with former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who alleged that the ruling party was sponsoring divisions within opposition parties, Wike refrained from making a direct comment,
"I don't want to discuss that; it's El-Rufai’s perspective. Do I look like someone who operates behind the scenes?" he responded. Wike calls out Governor Bala Mohammed Wike specifically accused Governor Bala Mohammed of betraying the G5 governors after allegedly seeking their support against Atiku Abubakar. "Bala Mohammed had issues with Atiku and was deeply concerned about his political future. On a particular day, I was heading to the airport for a project commissioning when he called me. He said Atiku would destroy him if he won and insisted that we must support Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu).
"We mobilised the G5 to visit Bala Mohammed in Bauchi, unaware that he was only using us to mend fences with Atiku. He acted pleased when we arrived, but the next day, Aminu Tambuwal led a delegation to see him, and he abandoned us," Wike recounted. He stressed the importance of integrity in leadership, saying, "Before assuming any position of authority, one must have strong character. That is why I always emphasise character."
