According to a source who spoke to AIF Media, Wike is furious that Fubara invited Atiku and other PDP leaders who are thought to be his rivals to the May 29 inauguration in Port Harcourt without getting his approval.
The source claimed that when confronted, Fubara told his close aides he didn’t want to inherit the enemies of the departing governor and didn’t want to start waging political battles early in his term.
He chose to make amends with the party’s national and state leaders, which the Port Harcourt hit man didn’t appreciate.
