National Mandate Group (NMG), support team of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has carpeted Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for meddling in Lagos State politics by openly endorsing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for second term.
Lagos State Coordinator of the NMG, Wahab Sadiq, described the governor as a meddlesome interloper saying what he did amounted to anti-party activity.
Wike, who visited Lagos as a special guest at an event organised by the wife of the governor, had described Sanwo-Olu as a performer who deserved a second term and whose re-election would be a walkover.
Expressing aversion to the Rivers governor’s action, Sadiq said: “What Wike came to do in Lagos is clearly anti-party and a sacrilege. It amounts to an act of gross indiscipline from someone we have always regarded as a strong pillar in PDP.
Sadiq said the victory of PDP in Lagos was a foregone conclusion because Lagosians had decided to reject the mediocrity they had suffered since 1999, when the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, first became governor and turned himself into the Alpha and Omega in the state.
“We restate our commitment to the victory of the esteemed PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor and his beautiful running mate, Ms. Funke Akindele-Bello, alias Jenifa. Jandor is coming and 1,000 Wikes cannot save Sanwo-Olu. Let Sanwo-Olu and Wike take that to the bank.The truth is that Lagosians want a change,” he said.
