We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket. We have no apologies either.
Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state, has expressed regret over the failure of Sokoto, Gov, Aminu Tambuwal, to clinch the PDP presidential ticket.
Fayose, in a statement on Monday in Ado Ekiti made available to the Next Edition, said that he supported his Rivers counterpart, Nyesom Wike, to ensure the emergence of Tambuwal.
While reacting to the outcome of the Presidential primary election held in Port Harcourt at the weekend, he said that he was reconsidering his membership of the PDP because of Tambuwal’s loss.
Meanwhile Gov. of Rivers, Nyesom Wike, on the other hand has called on members of the party to put aside their differences and rally round their flag bearer to ensure the APC was kicked out of power in 2019.
Former Vice President Abubakar Atiku polled 1,532 votes to pick the PDP while Tambuwal got 693 votes.

“We have no regret aligning with Governor Wike to support Governor Tambuwal for the presidential ticket. We have no apologies either.
“We kept the party alive and strong when most men became ladies. We never compromised. If any group feels it can do it alone, we will see how far they can go.
“I may renounce my membership of the party, if the need arises. In the main time, myself and others will continue with our consultations while watching the turn of events.
“We cannot but appreciate leaders that have intervened so far, but this release became necessary to avoid fresh crisis or misrepresentation,” he said.
