Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said there is no friction between him and former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Wike said the report that he is at loggerheads Jonathan over political issues are merely concocted by enemies of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to deceive Nigerians ahead of the forthcoming elective National Convention of the party.
The governor in a press statement issued by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simon Nwakaudu in Port Harcourt yesterday said he and Goodluck Jonathan were working together to rebuild the PDP and re-position it for victory in all future elections.
“Contrary to the views being canvassed in the reports planted by the agents of the APC in sections of the media, there is no premise for any political disagreement between Governor Wike and Former President Goodluck Jonathan, whom he served as a loyal minister. The presidential ticket of the PDP has been zoned to the North while the national chairmanship is zoned to the South, hence there is no basis for the speculation that there is a conflict where none exists,” the statement added.
