A wind of distress may have blown the presidential campaign of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar following the resignation of Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike as the south south zonal coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential campaign council.

CEOAfrica gathered from a source close to governor Wike on Saturday, that the governor has on Friday night prepared a resignation letter which would be submitted today, Saturday.

This came after the opposition party,  PDP had in October named Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as Director-General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council along with prominent leaders of the party as zonal coordinators, which Wike was inclusive.

Apart from the Senate president, Ayo Fayose, Aminu Tambuwal, Ibrahim Dankwambo, Samuel Ortom, Nyesom Wike and Dave Umahi were named as zonal coordinators.

While Governor Aminu Tambuwal was named as the Zonal Coordinator for NorthWest, Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo was appointed Zonal Coordinator for North-East, Governor Samuel Ortom for North-Central, Governor Dave Umahi for South-East, Nyesom Wike for South-South and former Governor Ayodele Fayose as Zonal Coordinator for the SouthWest.

Only just a month after, CEOAfrica learnt that Wike was not relaxed with the way things were going in the campaign especially lack of consultations of appropriate party leaders before vital decisions and appointments are made.

Hence, the source affirmed in spite of the resignation by the governor, he remains committed to the party and the 2019 campaigns.
