In what may upset PDP, a reliable source close to Rivers state governor informed Saturday Sun, Friday night, that Nyesom Wike’s letter of resignation as Atiku’s campaign coordinator for the south south was ready and may be submitted today, Saturday, to the party.
Apart from the Senate president, Ayo Fayose, Aminu Tambuwal, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Samuel Ortom, Nyesom Wike and Dave Umahi were named as zonal coordinators.
Governor Aminu Tambuwal was named as the Zonal Coordinator for NorthWest, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo was appointed Zonal Coordinator for North-East, Governor Samuel Ortom for North-Central, Governor Dave Umahi for South-East, Nyesom Wike for South-South and former Governor Ayodele Fayose as Zonal Coordinator for the SouthWest.
Just a month after, Saturday Sun gathered that Wike is not comfortable with the way things are going in the campaign especially lack of consultations of appropriate party leaders before vital decisions and appointments are made.
The source however said notwithstanding the resignation by the governor, he remains committed to the party and the 2019 campaigns.
