Professor Jerry Gana, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), has said that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is not
challenging the outcome of the party’s presidential primary.
Gana disclosed this in a statement he issued to newsmen in
Abuja on Friday.
Recall that Wike lost the party’s primary to former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar, a development that has since caused a rift between
both politicians.
“News in the media that Wike has commenced legal proceedings
challenging the outcome of the 2022 PDP Presidential Primary is totally false.
“We unequivocally state that Wike has not and will not
challenge the outcome of the just concluded PDP Presidential Primaries in
Court.
“He has long moved beyond such an action to focus on matters
of how best to ensure victory for the PDP in the forthcoming elections,” he
said.
Gana also dismissed false reports alleging that Gov. Wike
had ordered the removal of the ceremonial PDP flags and insignia from the
Rivers Government House and Governor’s Office.
He added: “This again is totally false and misleading. The
Rivers State Governor never gave such instructions.”
