Wike’s endorsement of Sanwo-Olu is a big blow to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor.
Wike has been at loggerheads, with the National Leadership of the PDP over his insistence on the resignation of the Party’s Chairman Iyorchia Ayu.
