A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has lampooned the governor of Rivers State, southern Nigeria, Nyesom Wike, for destroying the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

“When he eventually came out. He was made a minister by President Goodluck Jonathan, he managed to crawl around and eventually got the nomination to be the governor of River
