While the bitter rift between Senator Samuel Anyanwu and the present Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha may not have been totally resolve, the fearless and fiery Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wine has revealed that he plotted Senator Samuel Anyanwu’s failure in the last Peoples Democratic Party primary elections in Imo.

“He is still my friend and still relates very cordially with him. That is why I am here to identify with him on his Thanksgiving ceremony and join him in the church building project of St. Columbus Catholic Church.
“Senator Sam Anyanwu is a good politician. Despite losing the party’s Governorship ticket, he has remained faithful to the party”, he said.
