Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Olagbondiyan has revealed that Governor Nyesom Wike
of Rivers State almost suffered a heart attack when former Speaker of the House
of the Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, left the party.
Featuring on Arise TV on Friday morning, the former PDP
mouthpiece was reacting to an internal wrangle within the main opposition
political party.
He described Governor Wike as a party man, who is not
considering dumping the PDP following the outcome of the party’s national
convention in May.
“I always tell people about this. When the former Speaker,
Honourable Yakubu Dogara left the Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Wike
nearly suffered heart-attack. That is love, that is passion for your political
party,” he said.
“People who are saying that Governor Wike will leave the
party I do not believe they have the understanding of Governor Wike.
“Governor Wike declared that notwithstanding whosoever
emerges as the candidate, he remains a party man. But you cannot see a man who
has a complain and you say he shouldn’t complain.
“He has the rights. If he believes as a member of the party
and a pillar of the party that he is, if he believes that things have not been
done well [he should be listened to].”
