Wike, who was at a time Amaechi’s Chief
of Staff, has been at loggerheads with the governor since he (Amaechi)
started having a running battle with President Goodluck Jonathan and his
wife.
Mrs. Jonathan, who is also from Rivers
State, claimed in a statement by her media assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, that
the people of the state were behind Wike and were prepared to follow
him.
Though she claimed that she was not
meddling in the process of selecting candidates for the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, the President’s wife described Wike’s ambition as a fait accompli.
She was reacting to a news report that
indicated that she was planning to install three governors in Bauchi,
Bayelsa and Rivers states.
