Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has said that some PDP top shots hated Wike because of his leadership capacity but added that the PDP presidential flag bearer Abubakar Atiku does not hate Wike.
Fayose who spoke in Rivers State during a project inauguration noted that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku, does not hate Governor Wike, but a lot of people around him are the enemies creating the tension.
Fayose told Wike: “For me, I want to believe Atiku Abubakar is not against you. But let me say this quickly, a lot of people surrounding the throne are enemies of the throne.
“A lot of people surrounding the throne have one axe to grind with somebody, or some issues with somebody, and they take it to where they’re not supposed to take it. There is no living person in the party and outside this party that will not acknowledge your contribution to this party. You are the soul of this party.
“Rivers State has been here for long but today we can see the difference. The average Rivers man is proud to be from Rivers. They’re proud to say you’re their governor. Forget whatever anybody says about you, I’ve said it before, Wike ,the man with a fierce look but a good heart. The heart of love, to accomplish and give support.
