A former aide to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe has bragged that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is not his mate in politics.
He stated that he has the right to call derailing members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to order as a senior member of the party.
This is coming after a recent public attack on Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the main PDP, at the weekend.
In a statement he shared on Twitter, Okupe said
“I believe I have the right and the merit to call our members to order irrespective of their status in the party”.
The PDP chieftain pointed out that those who can measure shoulders with him in politics in Rivers State are the likes of Peter Odili, Rufus Ada George, and not Wike, adding that he is a leader and senior to the current governor.
“For a fact, my contemporaries in the political hierarchy of Rivers State are former Govs Rufus Ada George and Peter Odili. So I am a senior and leader to our indefatigable Gov Wike politically.
