It’s no secret why PDP is doing this. The party has been reduced to playing second fiddle in its own supposed opposition role, thanks in no small way to the political havoc wrecked by the FCT Minister and immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who has unwittingly turned the PDP into a willing support arm for the ruling APC.
