Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike has made the list as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) releases names of members of the party’s Edo State Governorship Campaign Council.

The party listed the Adamawa State Governor, Hon Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, as the Campaign chairman with the Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Kefas Agbu, and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff oborevwori as Deputy chairmen.

The inclusion of Wike, who is serving in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government, and frolicking with the ruling party may have come to the public as a shock, but the PDP said they have done the right thing.

However, information reaching The Boss from impeccable sources says that the former Rivers governor has been raising dust over the inclusion of a former Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus. Wike, according to the source, has insisted the inclusion of Secondus in the list is antiparty, and should not be allowed to stand.

Other members of the Campaign Council are serving governors elected under the party platform, former governors of the party, former President Goodluck Jonathan, former vice presidents Atiku Abubakar and Namadi Sambo and a host of others.

Below are names of the members of the campaign organization:

You’re Still Not Members of Rivers House of Assembly, Appeal Court Tells 27 Decamped Lawmakers

The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Friday, refused to set aside a judgment ordering the removal of Martins Chike Amaewhule and 26 others as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Justice Charles Wali of the Rivers State High Court, Port Harcourt, on May 30 declared the seats of the 27 lawmakers who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in October last year vacant.

The judge, who delivered the ruling in a suit filed by the Speaker of the Assembly, Victor Oko Jumbo, and two others, also restrained Amaewhule from parading himself as Speaker of the Assembly.

Dissatisfied with the verdict, the aggrieved lawmakers approached the appellate court to set it aside.

However, at a virtual hearing of the matter on Friday, a three-member panel of the appellate court declared that the reversal of the lower court ruling would amount to pre-judging the appeal currently before it.

The panel, thereafter, fixed June 20 for the hearing of the appeal filed by the lawmakers in their quest to regain their seats in the Assembly.
