SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 26, (THEWILL) – Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has declared that it is unlikely that he will work with Ali Modu Sheriff if the supreme court declares him as the bonafide National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike made this known on Friday during an interview on a Channels Television programme.
THEWILL recalls that the party has been in crisis due to a leadership tussle between Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi which made some of the party chieftains threaten to dump the party if Sheriff finally emerges as the party chairman.
When asked what he would do if Wike is declared Chairman of the party, he replied saying it is “very very unlikely” for him to work under Sheriff.
“Why we are following up this issue is for the stance of the law on certain things to be stated properly,” he said.
“It is very, very unlikely for me to be under Sheriff if the supreme court rules he is the party chairman. I can’t say if I will leave but of course I have my choice.
“There are things you can’t go on with, they’re certainly wrong.
“Have you seen the characters around Sheriff? Does the party have any clear roadmap with such person? And then you want me to go and work under such person? It is against my belief. It is even against the tradition, no I can’t do that.”
