Nyesom Wike, political foe of incumbent Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, has won the Rivers state governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Amaechi and Wike have been at loggerheads in the political sphere for some time, and the pair, have on several occasions thrown verbal attacks at each other.
Wike, who is one time chief of staff to Amaechi and minister of state for education has will now represent the PDP at the governorship elections next year.
A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Nuhu Ribadu, has won the governorship ticket of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa state.
He defeated six other contestants, including the state governor, Bala Ngilari at the primary election which held at the Old Parade ground, Abuja.
The party’s National Working Committee, NWC, had moved the election to Abuja after Mr. Ngilari was accused by a panel sent to the state to conduct primary election for state Assembly aspirants of holding them hostage.
