Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has reacted to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s provocative statements and actions ahead of the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n
Rivers State Governor, Wike, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)<\/a>, has recently made some moves that could be considered anti-party activity, but the Rivers State Governor continues to get away with no sanction from the party leadership.<\/p>\n Wike recently publicly endorsed Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for re-election.<\/p>\n The PDP chieftain, who was in Lagos on Tuesday, rejected the PDP’s gubernatorial candidate in the state, Olajide Adeniran, also known as Jandor, saying that running against Sanwo-Olu for the governorship seat is a waste of time.<\/p>\n According to him, the quality of projects delivered across Lagos by the Lagos Governor has raised the standard of governance.<\/p>\n Wike’s recent declaration, which follows a string of provocative actions against the PDP’s leadership, including its national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, and the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has sparked interest across the board ahead of the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n However, in a Twitter post on Wednesday morning, Omokri<\/a> who is a staunch supporter of Atiku said that no matter how provocative the Rivers State Governor becomes at this time, PDP will not fire back at him.<\/p>\n Omokri who boasts that PDP will reclaim power in 2023 expressed hope that Wike settle his rift with the leadership of the party. He, however, said the party will only endure and not fire back even if all efforts to pacify the Rivers State Governor prove abortive.<\/p>\n The controversial socio-political activist tweeted:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0No matter how much Governor Wike provokes the PDP, the PDP ought not to react. We are obviously going to win the election. Hopefully, we can settle with him before February 25, 2023. But if that proves difficult, we should just endure and never give fire for fire!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n No matter how much Governor Wike provokes the PDP, the PDP ought not to react.
