Governor Wike, however, declined to give the name of the governor or when he will leave the party.
Citing the 2019 victories PDP recorded over incumbent APC governors in Bauchi and Adamawa, he downplayed
the impact of Umahi’s defection on future elections. He added that people attribute too much power to
governors when the real power lies with the people.
Wike said;
“We didn’t have a party structure in Adamawa, we won because the people spoke. We didn’t have a party structure
in Bauchi, we won. The people spoke.
“As I speak to you today, performance is what gives any party, assuming a ruling party in that state, an advantage
to win a future election. It is not because you are the governor.”
