Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has backed Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for insisting on equity, fairness and justice in the Peoples Democratic Party, describing the latter as his man of the year.
Oshiomhole spoke while inaugurating the Rumuepirikom Flyover in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers State; a project constructed and completed by the Wike-led administration.
The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress commended Wike for inviting him and some opposition leaders to inaugurate projects, saying when he governed Edo, he invited the then Anambra governor, Peter Obi, to open some projects in his state.
He told Governor Wike that President Buhari finds in his person his government, worthy of that honour as Mr. Project asking the people of Rivers state to be proud of their governor as Wike has made a difference.
“When I was asked about the issues in PDP, I said Wike is my man of the year. He is insisting that politics should not be about making agreements that we do not intend to deliver on.” Oshiomhole said.
Earlier, Wike insisted that the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party G-5 governors will not accept any reconciliation not hinged on equity, fairness and justice.
The governor pointed to how, prior to the crisis rocking the PDP, some members of the party were singing praises of him and colleagues that make up the G-5 governors.
He noted that the same people have turned around to call them names because they are clamouring for what was right.
