The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to sustain the fight for the return of a healthy party structure that will allow an even representation of the interest of the North and South in the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic party.

The governor said the current leadership structure, with the North holding the presidential ticket as well as the national chairman positions, was against the constitution of the PDP and a gross injustice to the South.

Wike made the observation at the inauguration of the Ahoada Campus and staff quarters of the Rivers State University, which was performed by the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Thursday.

The current hierarchy of the PDP, Wike said, did not give room for the interest of the South, particularly when decisions were to be taken.

Governor Wike said the resignation of the Board of Trustees Chairman was a distraction because the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had told him that the national chairman of the party, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu must relinquish his position.

The Federal Government has insisted that only it cannot fund the education sector in the country, calling on stakeholders to contribute their quota to achieve proper funding for education.

Minister of State for Education, Goodluck Opiah, who made the assertion on Thursday in Abuja, said there is nowhere in the world that education is free because of the cost implication of providing education to the citizenry.

He spoke at the commemoration of International Literacy Day 2022, which was celebrated with students of Knosk-N100-A-Day secondary school in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Opiah thanked the National Library of Nigeria for hosting the celebration in the school and appreciated the Proprietor of Knosk-N100-A-Day for the school initiative, while also calling on people and entrepreneurs to partner government on funding education.
