The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has revealed why he removed the picture of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the Rivers State campaign poster.
Governor Wike made the revelation on Monday when he appeared on a live programme monitored on television.
Speaking on the inauguration of Rivers State PDP campaign council, Wike, former Minister alleged that Atiku picked those that he wanted to work with in Rivers State without his contribution.
He stated further that he will only campaign for people who requested him to do so, stressing that Atiku has not asked him to campaign for him.
Governor Wike said: “The presidential candidate entered my state and picked members of the presidential council without the contribution of the whole Governor. They said they don’t need me to campaign for them.
“I have never seen how people would disrespect a state like Rivers State and go and choose enemies of the state without the contribution of the governor.
“The senatorial and governorship candidate told us to campaign for them and that is why we are here to campaign for them.”
