The Coalition commended the River state Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike for being the viable opposition figure who is always protecting the good image of the party.
“We must identify ourselves with Mr Wike because of his concern for the party. He always mobilized the financial support for the party.
“He (Wike) is the rallying point of the opposition in Nigeria today. We will not allow him to leave PDP for the ruling party as a result of poor leadership of Mr Secondus”.
