Yesterday, media sources said that Wike resigned to pursue his governorship ambition in Rivers State.
PUNCH reported that a statement issued on behalf of Jerry Needam, Rivers state PDP Chairman read, "The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party has been drawn to some media publications and speculations in some quarters alleging that the Honourable Supervising Minister for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, has resigned his position as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
"The party wishes to state that the minister has not resigned his membership of the Federal Executive Council and has not at the moment contemplated doing so. He remains the Supervisory Minister for Education.
"The PDP therefore calls on its members and the general public to discountenance this concocted, false, misleading and calumnious speculation, which we are aware, is a creation by mischief makers and enemies of the minister and the party.”
It further warned members of the party not to be deceived by falsehood from political opponents, particularly the All Progressives Congress,APC.
