President Muhammadu Buhari received help from PDP leaders to defeat former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in 2019, according to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
During the Tuesday commissioning of the Rivers State University campus in Etche, Rivers State, the governor of Rivers said this.
Wike claims that when Buhari’s team asked him to participate in the negotiations, he refused because he wanted to win Rivers State for the PDP.

He added that the majority of those who made sure PDP never survived after 2015 are now making all kinds of claims about him.
He declared that no amount of coercion would succeed in getting him to back a cause that would not be advantageous to the residents of Rivers State.
Wike said, “If you don’t tell me what the state will gain, then forget me. This government (federal government) fought us, but we survived it. Most of them who are talking now, if this federal government had descended on them they would have crumbled.

“When they were going to negotiate with (President Muhammadu) Buhari in 2019, they came to me and I said no; no negotiation; PDP must win. I said no. That was why Buhari won the election. Those of them who made sure PDP never survived since 2015, that destroyed PDP, I see them today opening their mouths.”
Speaking about the project, Wike said it will have a positive effect on local economies, adding that his administration had kept all of its commitments.
