Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said some elders in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state worked against him to ensure he did not become running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said they did so because they lost in their bids to secure the Rivers State PDP governorship ticket.

He made these comments on Monday, during the 74th birthday reception of a former governor of the state, Peter Odili, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Mr Odili was governor of Rivers State from 1999 to 2007.
