Osita Chidoka, a former minister of aviation, criticized Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike for supporting Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the incumbent governor of Lagos State, for a second term.
He stated on Tuesday’s episode of Politics Today on Channels Television that Wike bears a greater share of the moral responsibility than the PDP and that the party should reassess his policies and practices.
Wike has the freedom to do most of what he’s doing since he has no stake in the outcome, according to Chidoka, a special adviser to PDP presidential candidate Abubakar Atiku and the party’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

He added that: “it’s important to say that if he wants to support the presidential candidate of any party, he is free to do so but he has a moral responsibility not to be sitting on a PDP seat as a governor and be talking about other candidate.
“That moral burden is more on Wike than it’s on PDP to justify why he is taking that position for a party that has been good to him up to Local Government Chairman to being the governor of a state.”
Wike was also reprimanded by the former head of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for repeatedly attempting to have the party’s various national chairs removed.
He said the behavior of the governor of Rivers State portends a risk for the party’s future chairman.
Osita Chidoka stated, “The discussion about whether the chairman of the party will leave has been a consistent conversation in PDP with Governor Wike.

“He wanted Makarfi to leave, he wanted Secondus to be chairman, Secondus became, he wanted him to leave at some point. He brought Sheriff as chairman of the PDP, he wanted him to leave and he went all the way to the Supreme Court.
“He brought Iyorchia Ayu as the chairman and now he wants him to leave. Even the next chairman is at risk if he continues to be the governor that at some point he may want the chairman to leave.”
