It was earlier reported that Nyesom Wike, left the venue of the Peoples Democratic Party convention before the convention ended. He reportedly left shortly after congratulating the winner of the party’s presidential primary, Atiku Abubakar.
He was promptly followed out of the Port-Harcourt venue by many of his supporters.
The Rivers governor was one of the major backers of Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who came second in the presidential primary.
Meanwhile, Wike has declared that all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation must rise up to sack the most inefficient Federal Government since the country gained independence.
He said though different party leaders supported different aspirants, with the emergence of Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party's Presidential Candidate, all hands must be on deck for the good of the country.
