The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday flagged off its presidential campaign amidst an unresolved internal crisis.
An angry Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and his allies, who are yet to be assuaged after the party’s presidential primary, sent a clear signal to the rally.
Though the campaign flag-off was well attended, observers say the absence of Wike, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Samuel Ortom of Benue, and Seyi Makinde of Oyo is a huge blow to the opposition party’s dream of reclaiming the number one seat in the country.
This is not the first time the aggrieved governors are boycotting the party’s major event since Atiku’s emergence.
