Dakuku Reacts As Speculations On Wike, Amaechi, Reconciliation Mount

Prospects of a reconciliation between Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi after they each came second in the presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC have been reported.

GWG.NG reports that Wike came second to Atiku Abubakar in the PDP presidential primaries while Amaechi came second to Bola Tinubu in the APC primaries.

However, with Wike openly flaunting his displeasure in the PDP, there are now reports that he could possibly reconcile with his political arch-enemy, Amaechi.

Saturday Telegraph reports that the prospects of such a reconciliation have also been advanced by the recent withdrawal of the criminal charges filed by the Wike administered Rivers State Government against Amaechi and the APC governorship candidate, Tonye Cole.

No reason was given for the withdrawal of the charges earlier this week.

GWG.NG further reports that observers have also noted a considerable toning down of the anti-Amaechi rhetoric by Wike as his war with Atiku and the Iyorcha Ayu led PDP leadership intensified.

“You don’t need anyone to tell you that the major reason the Rivers State House of Assembly derecognized Sir Celestine Omehia as a former governor of the state is to show clearly that he is no longer in tune with the Rivers State governor,” a top source within the Lagos State chapter of the PDP told Saturday Telegraph.

The source, a former South West zonal executive committee of the party, added that “we have it on good authority that Wike is charting his own path and looking for new allies wherever they can be. He doesn’t even mind forging alliance with the devil as we speak now to guarantee his political survival.”

Sensing that Atiku has moved in to mop up Wike’s support base, the Rivers State governor is said to have reached out to his former boss and immediate past governor of the state, Chibuike Amaechi. As a token of friendship, he has dropped all the graft charges against the former transportation minister, and the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tonye Cole.

However, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, who is embedded in the Rivers State chapter of the party, and a close associate of Amaechi’s played down the insinuations on Saturday night, telling GWG.NG “Well that is not to my knowledge.”
