The Executive Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said he chose peace to reign the night he lost the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primaries to Atiku at the party’s special convention in Abuja to select its flag bearer.

The highly vociferous Gov. Wike in his boasting sated as follows:

“If I wanted to scuttle the convention, I would have done that and I told them. There are people you think they are human beings but they are not human beings.

“I have never seen how people can violate procedures and guidelines. Somebody had spoken, it is only at that point he was speaking that he can say I have withdrawn. You don’t call him back.

“I just decided that this our party must not be destroyed. I would have left where I was sitting down and say this convention cannot go ahead except you allow me to talk. I would have flattened him.“
